Lol, they're being asked to have a couple old boys step down so we can move on and pretend this never happened and they're just like "nah, never, we'd rather burn this entire thing to the loving ground and piss on the ashes than even make a symbolic change."

loving incredible.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm done with hockey. Not a single NHLer has said anything meaningful about this? Not one person in the league has a spine? I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Wouldn't be surprising if they were covering up sexual assault by team Canada players about every other year. There are probably dozens of NHL players with skeletons in their closets and it's not going to go well for the league and a lot of players if there's a big reckoning.

Isn't there a spreadsheet somewhere of a bunch of NHL players who've been accused/charged/convicted of sexual misconduct?

Those are just the ones we know of. It's very telling that literally nobody in the league is saying anything of value about HC. I bet if there was a reckoning in professional hockey it'd make #MeToo look like... uhh, a very unpopular hashtag.

Good thing they snuck that pissbaby statement in parliament before axing the C level, otherwise we'd never have gotten to be told that, no, really, hockey Canada was the victim all along.

loving finally. It should have been done months ago. The longer they insisted on staying on, the longer and harder it is going to be for the next group to build up Hockey Canada, or whatever it will be called going forward.

I found the spreadsheet. It's not just NHLers, but there are a ton of them in there:

I worked with a guy who installed some sort of rich people poo poo (pools maybe) in rich peoples' homes. He said Spezza was really, really mean to his wife.

Was the board trying to stay on despite enormous public pressure just to hide all these extra slush funds? How many millions of dollars from Canadian hockey parents are just sitting around waiting to settle a sexual assault claim out of court?

If Russia was banned from the wjcs because of Ukraine, Hockey Canada absolutely deserves to miss a few tournaments imo

I mean at this point another valid question is whether or not anyone from the board was just straight skimming money.

As valid as this question is tbh I don't want it overpowering the question of how many rapes has Hockey Canada been covering up, because IMO that is the much, much bigger issue.
