Ontario's minister of tourism, culture and sport, Neil Lumsden says an independent investigation of the Greater Toronto Hockey League is in the works.
The announcement, which came at a question period Tuesday in Toronto, comes after Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles called on the provincial government to launch an investigation into the GTHL for allegations of teams being sold for large sums of money.
"Now, the member opposite may want to shake their heads at what we are doing but there is a process that we will go through, and if necessary, we will act based on the information we get from the investigation." "There does appear to be a cash-for-access culture that is giving some kids more opportunity than others," Stiles said. "Today, in light of these allegations, I am calling on the provincial government to launch an investigation into these very serious allegations and do its part to end cash-for-access culture in amateur hockey.
"The reporting today about the GTHL is deeply concerning," Stevens said. "And it is critical that we make sure that amateur hockey is fair and that children playing hockey in Ontario have an equal opportunity based on talent, skill and not wealth." "We actually spoke to him months before a lot of this stuff came to light when I was kind of going through my back and forth with the GTHL trying to make something work," Aliu said of speaking with Lumsden. "We told him about some of the issues that had been happening.
