Hockey Canada: Calls for cultural change spark period of reckoning for sport
The organization needs to have an honest reckoning with its problems before it can begin to rebuild and change its culture, said Geoffrey Leonardelli, professor of organizational behaviour at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.
Justice Thomas Cromwell is in the midst of a full governance review of Hockey Canada, with which he was tasked earlier this year after it was revealed that the organization reached an undisclosed settlement with a woman who alleged she was sexually assaulted by eight players, including members of the country’s 2018 world junior team. None of the allegations have been proven in court.
Aside from the headline-grabbing allegations, some observers pointed to the more insidious ways that hockey culture has edged kids off the ice. Weaving said the board’s new leadership has an opportunity to include new voices and build equity, diversity and inclusion in the organization, saying it needs a “reality check and a total overhaul.”
