Begin with the decisions that Hockey Canada took in July of 2018. The Heritage Committee heard last week that Hockey Canada hired a third-party investigator, the Toronto law firm Heinen Hutchinson, almost immediately following the alleged incident in June of that year. Lawyer Danielle Robitaille said she had spoken with 10 of 19 players on Canada’s World Junior team who attended the gala by July 11, the remaining players declined to speak with her.
But why did Hockey Canada allow its own investigation to remain incomplete? Tom Renney, the recently retired chief executive officer, and Scott Smith, who replaced him, have told the Heritage Committee that they both contacted police and hired their third-party investigators because of the seriousness of the allegations. And yet, in their June appearance before the committee, neither knew how many of their players had participated their own investigation.
Maybe the members of the Heritage Committee will find themselves with another crack at getting to those answers. Maybe Hockey Canada, which has so far stuck to prepared statements and the evidence that its executives have had to provide to Parliament, will explain the rationale behind its actions in some other form. One can hope.
Its investigation has since resumed. We just still don’t know exactly why it stopped in the first place.
