In no way, shape or form does the Dallas Stars organization condone or agree with the message that was sent out through Tyler Seguin's Twitter feed last night. We've addressed the issue directly with Tyler and we'll continue to work on educating our players regarding the importance of their conduct on all forms of social media.
According to Sports Illustrated, the player blamed hackers for the incident, and then deleted his twitter account.
The hockey player tweeted: After repeated attempts by "hackers" to try to damage my reputation I have decided to shut down my twitter account for a while.—
