Since when have things looked good for Hockey Canada? Bunch of morons at best and quite likely no better than the catholic church. Payouts, NDA's, shuffle offenders, lather rinse and repeat.
 
Not just a Hockey Canada but now a potential NHL problem. Of the 22 players on the roster I count, 1 retired, 3 play in the AHL and 1 in the Swiss NL. The remaining 17 are active in the NHL so there is a good chance...

Personally I am glad that it moved forward and IMO payouts and specifically NDAs should not apply to serious criminal chargers, specially sexual assault, etc. Instead (what should happen) money can still be thrown at silence but there is no legal recourse if the victim(s) break their silence specifically to authorities in the context of reporting a crime.

Or a deeper conspiracy, 5 don't play in the NHL and they are looking for 5....

edit, missed one, 6 not in the NHL another one is playing in Europe....

Add in that any person that is part of organizing the NDA and payout without reporting the supposed criminal act should also be brought up on charges of obstruction. It's fine if the police don't pursue, the bar should be reporting and providing whatever evidence/witness list/suspect list they have.
 
Good . Where there’s smoke there’s usually fire . These idiots running Hockey Canada have now cost EVERY other sport and youth activity tens of thousands setting up screening and publishing “ how to report” and increases insurance fees .
If the story has legs ( and it will) , hole these tards enjoy trying to cross tbe border as a convicted sex offender .
Well played hockey Canada .

It sounds like just players getting hit here not the brass responsible for the cover up.

Charges do not equal convictions. I expect plea deals. Come play a charity game with the local politicians as community service and we give them a discharge so they have no criminal convictions.

Five players from 2018 Canada world junior team take leave of absence from their clubs

Five players from Canada's 2018 world junior team have taken a leave of absence from their current clubs in recent days amid a report that five members of that team

"Five players from Canada's 2018 world junior team have taken a leave of absence from their current clubs in recent days amid a report that five members of that team have been asked to surrender to police to face sexual assault charges.
Michael McLeod and Cal Foote of the New Jersey Devils, Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, Dillon Dube of the Calgary Flames and former NHL player Alex Formenton, who is now playing in Europe..."
 
Any NHL organization is probably going to “recommend “ a leave of absence pretty fast . Sponsorship money is terrified of this crap .

Gonna be a messy thing.

I've been around high-level minor and jr hockey for decades, its a raw environment at the Jr level, particularly for the boys who aren't under direct control of a pro team yet.

Jr. Players are 16-20 years old (most 19 or 20), and many stopped serious schoolin' at age 15 when they left home to join their Jr teams. The hockey world teaches a strict honor code, but that doesn't include much instruction on behavior away from the rink until players join the professional ranks.

Temptation is everywhere for players headed for multi-million dollar contracts. Everywhere. There are lots of female fans who are just fans, but it's no secret that 'Puck Bunnies' seek out players after games, at known watering holes, and at regular house parties.

Don't take this post as justification, it's not - simply a commentary from someone who has seen that world. Young professional prospects are adults and should know better. Sadly the environment in which they are enveloped doesn't prepare them well for this sort of stuff, and hopefully this is a catalyst for change.
 
I was waiting on your weigh in , as someone that had a big connection to junior hockey . I hate to think we are only back to the 2003 teams ….
Growing up in rural Ontario , like most small towns , we had hockey players and everyone else . Hockey kids , from parents to teachers and coaches were told they were different and special . Some of them recognized the opportunity, some thought that meant banging the daughters at the house where you were being housed , or whomever . Because at that point , no consequence would come forward . Your 18 and a stiff wang has no conscience.

Jr players get that kind of local adoration from the time they leave home and arrive at their billet's house. Girls start 'hanging around' when they are in grade 8 or 9, innocent and giggly about those new cute & rugged hockey players. Doesn't take long for the players to realize they are freshly minted stars in their new town/schools.

Billets are not parents, the players are often late with team events and go unsupervised, no billet parents want to get rejected so they may turn a blind eye to kids having fun. Most players are good, decent kids trying to live out their dreams, they pose no threat. But not all, and get them in a team environment, the dynamics change. Add alcohol to teenagers and things change again.

Jump to players who are NHL drafted. Now add professional Puck Bunnies, WAGs in waiting, more lonely road days, multi-million dollar settlements, handlers making sure the boys are 'looked after' -- the jungle gets thicker.
 
Many of the “brass” were pushed out of senior roles with Hockey Canada when they were federally defunded , until they changed managers. New managers rotated in and out fairly fast realizing what a hornet nest they stepped in.
At some point if this really gets legs , some of that brass , for lack of better phrasing , bought thier players way out of criminal charges . They have a culpability in this and are likely ******** themselves , because they knew what they were doing was wrong , did it anyway , and then tried to bury the paper trail . It’s possibly going to get bigger before it’s over.

A coworkers son did an exchange hockey thing with Sweden and there was exchange billeting. The Swedish family said it was sauna time and Sonny boy walked in to see them all in their birthday suits, including their 18 YO daughter. Blush.

A neighbours daughter went to a high school graduation pool party and also there was hockey player and a body builder.

Testosterone fueled words resulted and the hockey player took a swing at the muscles. He missed but the other guy didn’t. Police and ambulance called. I’m pretty sure being knocked cold counts as a concussion but not sure if it’s recorded if off ice.

The blood that flows to the penis bypasses the brain.
 
All 5 players have now been charged with sexual assault. Gets ugly from here . Meanwhile up the totem pole , a dozen old guys in suits that attempted to bury this with a cash payout are sweating bullets waiting for the charges of interfering with a crime , being an accessory and culpability? A lot of careers are going in the toilet on this .
