Hockey Canada says it needs to ‘do more’ to foster a safe culture in the sport
Hockey Canada says it must “do more” to build a safer culture in the sport.
What that looks like remains to be seen.
The national organization released a brief statement Thursday following the federal government’s move 24 hours earlier to freeze public funding in response to its handling of an alleged sexual assault and out-of-court settlement.
Minister of Sport Pascale St-Onge said Wednesday that Hockey Canada would only have its taxpayer money restored once officials produced an incomplete report by a third-party law firm hired to investigate the incident four years ago allegedly involving eight players at a gala function in London, Ont.
