Jackson had been indicted on four counts of molesting a minor, four counts of intoxicating a minor to molest him, one count of attempted child molestation, plus conspiracy charges. A 1993 molestation accusation had resulted in a civil settlement. Jackson died in 2009 at age 50.
In 2002 – The Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup, defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 to win the series in five games. It was the tenth of eleven Stanley Cup titles for Detroit and remains the only runner-up finish for Carolina, to go along with winning the title in 2006. Red Wings head coach Scotty Bowman won his ninth Stanley Cup title, breaking a tie Toe Blake for the most by an NHL head coach, a record that still stands.
