Federal hearings into organization’s handling of an alleged sexual assault by hockey players in 2018 continues
Hockey Canada’s has used its National Equity Fund to pay out $7.6-million worth of settlements since 1989, an official told hearings in Ottawa Wednesday.
“Out of the National Equity Fund, nine settlement payments have been made totalling $7.6-million,” since 1988, Mr. Cairo said Wednesday. “Uninsured settled claims are 12 in nature, for a total of $1.3-million,” Mr. Cairo said. “One perpetrator has created four of those incidents and accounts for $1-million of those.”
Though little has been known about the fund and how it was operated, The Globe’s investigation found the National Equity Fund had exceeded $15-million in recent years. But its use on sexual assault claims was not disclosed in Hockey Canada’s annual report or its financial filings, nor was it listed in the organization’s handbook for parents and players on the various forms of insurance provided by their registration fees.
