Hockey Canada sexual misconduct scandals reflect broader problem: Ipsos poll
Telus, Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire, Sobeys, Scotiabank and Esso have all cut ties with Hockey Canada for the upcoming 2022-23 season.The majority of Canadians, 85 per cent, say this was the right thing to do, the Ipsos poll showed.
“Whether it’s corporate sponsors or government sponsorship, people don’t feel that Hockey Canada and the amateur hockey industry in this country can continue in the direction that it’s headed without change,” said Bricker.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sport Minister Pascale St-Onge are among those who have repeatedly called for a change in leadership. Trudeau has even floated the idea of creating a new governing body for the sport.
The board will remain in place until a new board is elected at Hockey Canada’s annual general meeting on Dec. 17.Hockey Canada should think beyond hockey world to diversify new board, experts sayEight in 10 also agree that players should take training on sexual harassment and violence, the poll showed.
“People don’t think that the status quo can persist,” said Bricker. “They believe that change is necessary and they believe also that improvement will come from change.”Hockey Canada has announced its intention to follow the recommendations set out in an interim report by former Supreme Court justice Thomas Cromwell.
Cromwell was tasked in August with undertaking a full governance review of Hockey Canada 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.These are some of the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between October 18-20th, 2022, on behalf of Global News.
