Eventually the other skate will have to drop.
But the players involved have not been publicly identified. When they are, and in part because of what has been said about them while they have remained anonymous, the fallout will be significant.The first was that the Members of Parliament were not happy with Hockey Canada, and with president and chief executive officer Scott Smith specifically, who they repeatedly, one after the other, suggested should be out of a job.
The MPs expressed revulsion at the allegations that a woman who was 20 years old at the time was assaulted by a group of players, while intoxicated and without her consent, and the various hockey men in the room did not dispute that a wrong had occurred. Anthony Housefather, a Liberal MP, was understandably flummoxed by the way the lawsuit was handled. Had the players, identified in the statement of claim as John Does 1-8, been informed that Hockey Canada intended to settle with their accuser, he asked. Smith said the players were advised after the lawsuit had been settled.
