The suspension of funding was a temporary measure to force Hockey Canada to overhaul its governance, Sport Minister Pascale St-Onge says
had frozen Hockey Canada’s funding, and several major sponsors pulled their support in the months after it was revealed that Hockey Canada quietly settled a lawsuit with a woman who alleged she was sexually assaulted by eight players – including members of the 2018 world junior team – after a foundation gala in London, Ont., in June, 2018.– including player fees collected from families across the country – was used to pay for uninsured liabilities, including sexual-abuse claims.
“When we suspended the funding for Hockey Canada, it was never a matter of doing it forever. It was so that the proper change was implemented in the organization,” Ms. St-Onge said. “Today marks an important milestone for Hockey Canada in our journey to earn and maintain the trust of Canadians,” he said in a statement.
“I think that they’re still concerned with the organization,” said Ms. St-Onge of their comments about Hockey Canada. “They want to see the organization keeps moving in the right direction, but they were also worried about their funding and if the financial support was still going to be there for their teams. So this is part of the reason why we decided to move back in with the federal funding.”
When asked if Hockey Canada had revealed that report to the government yet as requested, Ms. St-Onge said it hadn’t because police are still investigating.
