CALGARY — Canada's new sports minister isn't ready to laud Hockey Canada on its efforts to change the sport's culture.
"Nobody's going to hear me congratulate anybody on what's been done so far because we're not there yet," Carla Qualtrough told The Canadian Press."Kids are still at risk and we can do better."
Hockey Canada became a lightning rod in what Qualtrough's predecessor Pascale St-Onge called Canada's safe-sport crisis last year when it came to light that the organization settled a lawsuit with a woman alleging she was gang-raped by members of the 2018 world junior men's hockey team at a gala event.
All of Hockey Canada's provincial and territorial members, the Canadian Junior Hockey League, the Canadian Hockey League, the American Hockey League, the NHL, the International Ice Hockey Federation and the new Professional Women's Hockey League indicated representatives would attend the summit, said Hockey Canada chief operating officer Pat McLaughlin.
"The room needs to know that as quickly as you can take steps forward, it can be undermined by not doing the really important, but smaller things right."
