Canadian National Women’s Hockey Team calls for “new Hockey Canada” to emerge from sexual assault crisis
Feb 17, 2022; Beijing, China; Team Canada forward Marie-Philip Poulin celebrates with teammates during the medals ceremony during the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games at Wukesong Sports Centre.
In recent weeks, numerous reports have shed light on alleged sexual assaults committed by members of the 2003 and 2018 Canadian National Men’s Junior Teams. Hockey Canada has come under fire for its handling of these events and the subsequent fallout. The Canadian federal government announced it will freeze Hockey Canada’s funding, while many of the governing body’s major sponsors suspended their partnerships with the organization.
“We are writing to you today to declare, first and above all else, that we intend to be part of the fight for the truth. All of the facts related to this terrible situation must — and will — come to light. After all, the only way to treat an injury is to acknowledge it fully.”
