A sexist remark in a GTHL game was caught on video. But as a result of sweeping changes made to minor hockey’s system for reporting abuse after the Hockey Canada scandal, justice has been delayed.
. One of the requirements to restore funding — the organization received $14 million from the government in 2020 and 2021, including $3.4 million in COVID subsidies — was that Hockey Canada become a signatory to Abuse-Free Sport, a program operated by the newly created Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner.The Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner handles all cases of abuse, harassment, bullying, misconduct and discrimination in sports at the national level.
Oakman said the GTHL has submitted 85 cases to the independent third party this season, though the overall number involving the league is likely much higher since complaints can also be submitted directly to the third party. Of those 85, the third party has taken jurisdiction of only seven, while another three are awaiting a decision.
Hockey Canada’s new independent third-party system takes complaints out of the hands of local associations such as the GTHL. Those complaints are handled by Ward and Jahmiah Ferdinand, also an Ottawa lawyer, along with 13 other staff members.
