Tim Hortons, which first suspended its sponsorship in June, says it will continue to fund national women's and para hockey programs, as well as youth hockey.
MONTREAL — Hockey Quebec says it has lost confidence in Hockey Canada and will not transfer funds to the national organization, while a well-known Canadian brand extended its sponsorship boycott.
The company, which first suspended its sponsorship in June, says it will continue to fund national women's and para hockey programs, as well as youth hockey. The Ontario Hockey Federation, the largest of Canada's 13 provincial and territorial hockey associations, has asked Hockey Canada a second time to not collect the $3 participant assessment fee from its members for the 2022-23 season.
Two recent allegations involve players from the 2018 and 2003 Canadian junior men's teams. Those allegations have not been tested in court. "It also sends the message to the leaders at the organization that are holding on to their jobs that Hockey Canada doesn't belong to them," St-Onge told reporters in Ottawa. "It also belongs to their members, and they want change. They want a change of culture and they want to fight against sexual violence.
Hockey Canada has been under fire since May when it was revealed it settled a lawsuit with a woman who alleged she was sexually assaulted by eight players from the 2018 junior men's hockey team at a June gala event in London, Ont., that year. "Put pressure on the 13 voting members to ensure that there's a board in place that's going to make those meaningful changes at the top."
It was revealed in July that Hockey Canada paid out $7.6 million in nine settlements related to sexual assault and sexual abuse claims since 1989.
