The federal government suspending Hockey Canada’s funding because of problems distant to the national women’s team can still affect it.

The bulk of training costs for men’s teams are borne by pro or junior clubs who loan players to Hockey Canada for international tournaments.

Among the 142 senior and developmental players currently participating in a Calgary camp are 19 women who won Olympic gold in Beijing in February. “It’s a valid concern, especially long term,” said Gina Kingsbury, director of hockey operations for Hockey Canada’s women’s teams, to The Canadian Press. “We’re entering territory that we don’t fully understand. I’m trying to focus on what I can control.

But federal money is withheld until Hockey Canada meets St-Onge’s conditions. They are a financial audit of the organization, producing the recommendations of an investigative report by a third-party law firm, developing an action plan to change culture, and becoming a signatory to the Office of the Integrity Commissioner.

We aren’t as stupid as to think the entire hockey thing is bad because of some unproven allegations. You would be out of business yesterday if you didn’t receive welfare from Trudeau. Fear mongering. Did you learn that from our pathetic PM?

Hockey Canada commissions former Supreme Court justice to lead review into governance | CBC NewsHockey Canada has hired former Supreme Court Justice Thomas Cromwell to lead a review into the organization’s governance structure amid growing calls for its leadership to step down over its handling of alleged sexual assault cases. I for one am shocked that hockey people could be so corrupt and incompetent when it comes to running a large organization. The way Canadians navel gaze and tilt at windmills this will probably generate a 10,000-page report that will cost millions and will end up being ignored. It's what we do though eh. Should Justin Trudeau step down to because he had sex with a 14 year old when he was a teacher?
