Marty Raymond

Marty Raymond (born October 2, 1964) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach and former player. Raymond is the current head coach for the Cotter Schools Rambler boys hockey program, scheduled to compete in the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) in 2020-21. Raymond has served as head coach of the Hungarian club SAPA Fehérvár AV19 in the Austrian Hockey League. Prior to joining SAPA Fehérvár AV19 during the 2013 off season, he spent two seasons coaching KHL Medveščak, another EBEL club. Raymond was the long-time coach of the ECHL's Bakersfield Condors.
Lawsuit.
In January 2011, Raymond was named in the lawsuit filed by Jason Bailey in which Bailey alleges that he was "forced to endure a barrage of anti-Semitic, offensive and degrading verbal attacks regarding his Jewish faith," from Bakersfield Condors head coach Marty Raymond and "suffered severe and/or pervasive harassment," from assistant coach Mark Pederson. On January 27, ESPN.com released details of the filed court documents and reported that the NHL is also now investigating.
A court case initiated by former Bakersfield Condor player Jason Bailey against the team, and former coaches Marty Raymond and Mark Pederson, has been litigated. In the proceedings as reported by ESPN, the following letter of apology from Raymond to Bailey was presented and included in the statement of the claim, Raymond wrote: 
 
Documents filed with the Superior Court of Kern County on Nov. 4 indicated that counsel for Bailey voluntarily filed a request to have the Court dismiss all claims of religious discrimination against the team.
The Condors, owner Jonathan Fleisig, as well as the individual coaches, maintained that the claims of Bailey were patently false and unfounded. However, they were unable to explain the letters of apology filed in court. 
The pending dismissal comes without a settlement of any kind for Bailey, the Condors said.
Bailey was assigned to the Condors by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2008-09 season and played in 35 games.
"In even the most unmeritorious cases, plaintiffs can receive nuisance value settlements paid by defendants who simply want to avoid the costs of litigation, but in this case, Bailey dismissed his claims without receiving a single thing in return," Bryan Freedman, counsel for the Condors, said in statement. "Bailey's willingness to dismiss the case in the absence of receiving any settlement certainly evidences the frivolity of his claims."
Bailey filed the suit in Orange County Superior Court in January, accusing Raymond and Pederson of anti-Semitism. It was transferred to Kern County Superior Court, with a different attorney, in July.
"We feel vindicated after this ridiculous ordeal," Condors owner Jonathan Fleisig said in a statement. "To have our team name and the city of Bakersfield dragged through the mud by these claims is reprehensible. We have always considered ourselves an upstanding organization in this community and a proud representative of Bakersfield and Kern County."
Raymond left the team in June to take a coaching position in Europe. Pederson is now coaching in Japan. 
LA Jr. Kings Anti-Semitism Incident.
After a series of coaching and consulting jobs, Raymond landed a coaching position with the LA Jr. Kings through the Elite Prospects scouting program. 
On March 29, 2019, a LA Kings SafeSport announcement was issued by the LA Jr. Kings administration regarding apparent USA Hockey SafeSport infractions as described by Steve Yovetich, President and spokesperson for the organization. The official announcement included the statement of "We are a club that prides itself on being a community; one that fosters values such as friendship, respect and teamwork, and upholds ideals like diversity, equality and tolerance."

According to an article posted by Helene Elliott in the Baltimore Sun, Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder of the Simon Wiesenathal Center — said in a statement, “This is outrageous. At a time when anti-Semitism is so prevalent all over the world, we discover that in our own back yard an LA Junior Kings hockey team made anti-Semitic remarks and Nazi salutes mocking Jews.
“Every day we are shocked to find out how prevalent this cancerous malignancy is in our society. If this is what they can say in their youth, what can we expect of them when they mature into adults? ”The Baltimore Sun / Helene Elliot
Tom Hancock, CAHA president was unable to speak to specifics of the SafeSport investigation into the anti-Semitism incident. According to an article written by Katie Strang for the Athletic on April 1, 2019 Hancock revealed that the same team and coaching staff was put on probation by the Jr. Kings organization earlier this season because of a violation regarding the team’s use of social media.
As reported in Strang's article, according to USA Hockey’s SafeSport Program handbook, SafeSport strictly prohibits online harassment, threats and bullying, including “the use of electronic communications to harass, frighten, degrade, intimidate and humiliate” and any physical and/or non-physical behaviors that “reflect discriminatory bias in an attempt to establish dominance, superiority, or power over an individual participant or group based on gender, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, or mental or physical disability.”
As with the Nazi-behavior team culture incident, the LA Jr. Kings 14U team (including coaches) went through educational training on social media. At that time, the team and coaching staff were put on notice that any future activity that ran afoul of SafeSport’s policy would result in discipline." The Athletics / Katie Strang
