Brayden does have a personal Facebook account; it is does not appear in searches due to extreme privacy settings and cannot be viewed by the public. Therefore, any user with the name 'Brayden Schenn' that you can find on Facebook is not him.
Brayden released the following statement, "I would like to apologize to anyone that was hurt by this persons comment. I appreciate all of my fans and am looking forward to focusing on the Blades playoff run."
The Saskatoon Blades Hockey Club has requested a police investigation.
"I just know that last night somebody had come up to our coach before the game and mentioned there was a Facebook page that was allegedly Brayden Schenn's," Blades President Jack Brodsky told CKRM radio Thursday. "Allegedly there were some racial slurs on there. I have not seen that page, and apparently it's gone now. I did a little search on Facebook today and there were about eight accounts that came up as Brayden Schenn's. In fact none of them were him. He has one that's quite private with a lot of filters on it that's only accessible to his friends. Those comments were not Brayden's. It's just a very unfortunate situation.
"We've talked to city police here and they're looking into it but these things are very difficult to trace and follow. What we'd really like to do is assure everyone that these were not Brayden's comments and Brayden doesn't have those types of feelings to First Nations people, nor anyone else. Brayden just wants to play hockey and that's what he's doing. Again it's an unfortunate. These things happen in the playoffs and there's obviously some person out there with not much integrity and it's unfortunate but we just want to focus on the game coming up here (in P.A.) tonight and do the best we can on that."

What a cowardly act by whomever did this. It's sickening.

what a disgrace.
i'd hope that they could trace to find out exactly who it was.
this should be an exciting time for all those kids.
shame.
Stuff like these makes me sick but also pisses me off I had similar problem but the fat greasy pigs said they couldn't nothing about unless I had an IP address. Just because Schenn is someone "special" the fat greasy pigs will get off their donut filled asses and do something?
This is not so much unfortunate as it is pathetic...
Realistically, they just say that they will, I don't think they have the manpower to actually persue it.
But hey, relax a little!
To the ANON that doesn't like the police. Learn to spell a sentence and quit watching CSI Miami! They are correct nothing you can do without an IP address and then if you have one you have to place the person behind the computer....all in an hour long show.
Get a life.

Not that this happened in this scenario, but hackers can copy an IP address. Happened to a friend of mine from someone at his office who wanted him out and wanted him to leave under strange circumstances.
