Columbus Blue Jackets owners and executives commented on the surprising leave of Mike Babcock days before the opening of training camp. They are eager to move on from the turmoil that engulfed the organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll we can do now is learn from it and do everything we can to help our coaches and players get ready for the season,\u201d said John Davidson, the Blue Jackets\u2019 president of hockey operations. \u201cI know this is a major misstep that we have to move past.\u201d<\/p>\n
Babcock decided to resign on Sunday after wanting to view photos on players\u2019 cellphones as part of a bonding effort, but all of that led to an investigation last week by the NHL and the NHL Players\u2019 Association.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do not anticipate further changes to our hockey leadership team at this time,\u201d the owners, led by John P. McConnell, said. \u201cAdditional disruptions would be detrimental to our players and coaches as they prepare for the opening of training camp in two days.<\/p>\n
