Hockey Canada Representatives on Handling of Sexual Assault Allegations

Canadian Heritage - July 27, 2022:

The committee resumes its study on Hockey Canada's handling of 2018 sexual assault allegations involving members of the national junior team. MPs hear from former and current representatives from Hockey Canada, the Canadian Hockey League, the Quebec Mayor Junior Hockey League, the Ontario Hockey League, the Western Hockey League and BFL Canada. The meeting comes amid recent revelations that Hockey Canada used a fund maintained by registration fees to pay for uninsured liabilities, including sexual assault claims. The national governing body for hockey has since announced that it will no longer use the fund to settle sexual assault claims.
