Tim Hortons is pulling its sponsorship of all of Hockey Canada's men's hockey programming for the 2022-23 season, including the men's world junior championships, in the wake of an ongoing scandal and demands for a change in the body's leadership.
Hockey Canada is on the defensive over allegations that some members of its gold-medal winning World Junior team in 2018 took part in a group sexual assault, and the organization didn’t do enough to hold players accountable. The Fifth Estate examines the national shame inside Canada’s game, and the disturbing history that suggests this was not an isolated incident.Hockey Canada has confirmed it paid out $8.
On Tuesday, interim board chair Andrea Skinner defended Hockey Canada before a parliamentary committee, saying it has an "excellent reputation" and arguing against scapegoating "hockey as a centrepiece for toxic culture." Hockey Canada has been under fire since May when it was revealed it settled a lawsuit with a woman who alleged she was sexually assaulted by eight players from the 2018 junior men's hockey team at a June gala event in London that year.
