“Profound changes” are needed at Hockey Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday, and the federal sports minister is urging the organization’s members to remove senior leadership.
“Since the leaders of Hockey Canada are holding on to their jobs, the voting members need to clean the house,” Sports Minister Pascale St-Onge said.
“I can’t understand how Hockey Canada refuses to accept the reality that they no longer have the confidence of parents and Canadians, and that if they really care about youth and hockey in Canada, then they need to understand it requires an absolute transformation.” Hockey Quebec’s decision means it will keep the portion of registration fees normally handed over to the national organization, which amounts to $3 per sign-up.
