I can’t imagine what they were thinking when they used that language. That no one would find out he is one of the 5 implicated players? Or they would, but no one would go back two days to compare their words to the reality of the situation? Not only is it really hosed up, it’s incredibly stupid and unforced.

Remembering whenever it was last season when I noticed McLeod was pretty good and T-Bone said yeah but he might be one of the rapists. But how could Fitzgerald have known??? :rolleyes:

It is also possible that Dube lied to the team, to be fair.

How are any of these teams even going to spin this? "We had no idea" is completely implausible

Even just going back and looking over the statements the players issued (https://www.cbc.ca/news/players-statements-world-juniors-2018-1.6597503) it isn't particularly hard to read between the lines

Easily

"We questioned [player] who assured us that nothing untoward had happened, and we confirmed with London Police that any investigation had closed. We are incredibly saddened that [player] lied to us. As an organisation we are reliant on the findings of any police report as we have no investigative powers of our own. This incident does not represent the values of [organisation]. We are terminating [player]'s contract and have no further comment"

I hope I'm not minimizing the culpability of the rapists when I say this, but where the gently caress was Hockey Canada and adult supervision for these U20s?

I know the answer.

All the management and role models are ex-players, who played junior. The while loving organization should be liquidated and retired. This is disgusting.

Well, I never really thought McLeod wasn’t involved in some capacity. He never really denied it when it was his turn to respond to the allegations.

I"m pretty sure hockey canada was basically encouraging it as "boys will be boys" and "go have fun" because yeah they were all involved in poo poo like this when they were players in all likelyhood
