Premier Francois Legault says answers are needed from Quebec Major Junior Hockey League officials over revelations of sexual assault and torture suffered by teen players
Premier Francois Legault says he expects Quebec Major Junior Hockey League officials will appear before a legislature committee over disturbing revelations of sexual assault and torture suffered by teenage hockey players.
In a Feb. 3 decision on a class-action lawsuit, Ontario Superior Court Justice Paul Perell described the “horrific and despicable and unquestionably criminal acts” that former players in Canada’s three major junior hockey leagues, including the QMJHL, suffered at the hands of teammates and staff during initiations.
Courteau, the long-time commissioner of the Quebec league, has said in interviews with Radio-Canada and 98.5 FM that he was unaware of such acts.
