A former Supreme Court justice recommended wholesale change at Hockey Canada a day before the embattled sports organization’s CEO and board resigned on Tuesday.
Cromwell recommended that Hockey Canada put in place a board and a board chair who agree to serve for only one year as a transition board. The transition board will be responsible for addressing “the many public concerns about the senior management team of the organization.” While Hockey Canada has been the target of scathing criticism around how it handled sexual assault and abuse allegations, including the revelation of a secretive National Equity Fund to pay for uninsured liabilities, Cromwell took no issue with its existence, but was critical about how it was used.
“While Hockey Canada discloses the balance of the NEF and inter-fund transfers on its audited financial statements, members do not receive adequate information regarding these funds and their use,” Cromwell said. “Participants, whose registration fees are the primary source of funding for the NEF, have not been adequately informed about what proportions of fees go to fund under and uninsured claims,” he said.
