The Ontario Hockey Federation has re-sent a formal request to Hockey Canada to not collect the $3 participant assessment fee from its members for the 2022-23 season.
The provincial federation confirmed to The Canadian Press that its board of directors adopted a motion Tuesday night saying it does not believe Hockey Canada's current structure can change hockey culture. The resolution was first reported by La Presse.
“It is our understanding now that this request was never directed to the board before his departure,” the OHF statement said.The Canadian Press also reached out to the provincial hockey federations in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba for a reaction to Hockey Quebec's resolution. Only Hockey Saskatchewan responded with a “no comment” reply.
Brind'Amour and Hockey Canada's interim chair Andrea Skinner appeared before MPs in Ottawa on Tuesday to testify about alleged sexual assaults in the sport and how money was paid out in lawsuits. “Since the leaders of Hockey Canada are holding on to their jobs, the voting members need to clean the house.”
“It's no surprise that provincial organizations are questioning whether or not they want to continue supporting an organization that doesn't understand how serious a situation it has contributed to causing,” Trudeau said Wednesday. Kevin Waugh, another Conservative MP on the same committee, added that Hockey Canada as an organization has the money to weather the current scandal for years to come.Sports marketing expert Tom Mayenknecht said the national body's defensive posture has raised the level of difficulty for Hockey Canada to assert itself as worthy of both public and corporate trust.
Since Hockey Canada's settlement became public in the spring, Halifax police were asked to investigate an alleged sexual assault by members of the 2003 junior men's team.
