Evander Kane issues scathing statement about ex-wife Anna Kane.

For years now the world has witnessed a rather ugly and public dispute between National Hockey League star forward Evander Kane and his ex-wife Anna Kane, with both parties making extremely serious allegations against the other over the course of their deteriorating relationship.

In recent years Evander Kane has made efforts to distance himself from that toxic part of his past and move on with his life, but on Saturday it became clear once again that the ongoing dispute between these two former lovers is still ongoing.

In a drastic turn of events, it was Evander Kane who took to social media to issue a lengthy statement in which he spoke of the abuse and harassment he and others have allegedly suffered at the hands of his ex-wife and the measures he has gone to in an effort to put a stop to all of it.

Evander Kane's statement was a lengthy one, here it is unedited and in full:

RE: Public Statement Regarding Deanna Snowball (aka Deanna Nystead / Anna Kane)

I am issuing this statement regarding the ongoing conduct of Deanna Snowball, also known as Deanna Nystead, also known as Anna Kane.

It's time to clear up what I have endured at her hands. For over five years, she has engaged in stalking, harassment, and a deliberate campaign of lies directed at me.

What makes this even more unconscionable is that her behavior has not been limited to me alone she has also targeted my friends and family members, dragging innocent people into her vendetta.

She has furthermore made persistent, calculated attempts to sabotage my career and professional reputation.

These relentless attacks have caused damage, and I have shown more patience than anyone should be expected to. That patience has now run out.

I want to make something absolutely clear: I did not put her in this position. She put herself here. Every consequence she now faces is a direct result of her own choices. A permanent domestic violence restraining order exists against her for good reason yet she has chosen to ignore it, along with every other court order issued in this matter. The violations number in the thousands. Rather than comply, she has done the complete opposite at every turn, deliberately defying the legal system that has given her every opportunity to do the right thing.

My fiancee Mara and I have made countless genuine attempts to work cooperatively with Deanna for the sake of our daughter. Time and time again we extended good faith, only to be met with deception and broken promises. She has refused to follow through on court ordered agreements and has consistently done the complete opposite of what was expected and agreed upon.

A clear example of this took place in the summer of 2023. Deanna had stated she would be living in Los Angeles, and as I was planning to spend my off-season there as well, it presented the perfect opportunity for court ordered supervised visits with our daughter. I took it upon myself to contact a supervised visitation company, arranged everything, and provided Deanna with all of the information she needed to move forward. She never reached out to them.

She never followed through. She never showed up. That was the beginning of Deanna choosing not to see her daughter failing to comply with court orders and not following through on anything she had committed to. What makes this even more frustrating is that Deanna publicly claims she is doing everything in her power to get her daughter back yet her actions tell a completely different story. In the last three years, she has made zero meaningful progress, taken no real steps forward, and done nothing to demonstrate that she is serious about being a mother. I want to be clear this is not my opinion, my version of events, or how I personally feel things unfolded. These are documented facts, backed by proof and court records that speak for themselves.

Through all of this, Mara has been an absolute blessing. She has stepped up with grace, love, and devotion giving our daughter the stability, consistency, and unconditional love that every child deserves. What speaks volumes about Mara's character is the way she has carried herself throughout all of this. She has been incredibly classy, choosing to remain focused on what truly matters our family, our children, and our home rather than engaging in media battles or public back and forth. While others have chosen to be loud and combative, Mara has let her actions speak for her, and those actions have been nothing short of remarkable.

She is an extraordinary woman and an amazing mother, and I could not be more grateful for everything she brings to our family every single day.

Deanna's pattern of lies and erratic behavior has made it impossible to extend any measure of trust in her words or her intentions. She has proven time and again that her actions speak far louder and those actions have been consistently destructive, dishonest, and unlawful. It is also worth noting that there is currently a warrant out for her arrest in Canada due to the countless violations, which speaks further to her disregard for the law and legal accountability.

I have not taken these five years lightly. My attorneys have collected evidence and have been thoroughly monitoring her actions. Those who believe they have operated without consequence should think very carefully about that assumption.

This is not just about her. Any individual who has assisted, enabled, or participated in these actions against me whether directly or indirectly will not be exempt from legal consequences.

Quite frankly, the fact that there are still people who choose to believe her lies and remain invested in her narrative is a reflection of their own judgment. Those individuals are just as much a part of the problem as she is and it speaks volumes about their own character.

It is time for Deanna Snowball/Anna Kane and all those who have aided her to be held fully accountable.

She has made her choices, and now she must face their consequences. I will be pursuing every available legal remedy to ensure justice is served. Accountability is not optional. It is long overdue, and it is coming.

Above all else, my family is the most important. I am grateful for my beautiful fiance, Mara, whose love and unwavering support have been incredible during this ordeal.

My four children are my greatest joy and my greatest motivation, no amount of negativity could ever dim that.

This will be the last time I address this publicly. But it needed to be said.

Respectfully,

Evander Kane

While I can certainly appreciate Evander Kane feeling the need to defend himself in the court of public opinion, I find it difficult to believe that a statement of this nature will do anything other than fan the already white hot flames of this ongoing dispute.
