The federal government suspending Hockey Canada's funding because of problems distant to the national women's team can still affect it.
The bulk of training costs for men's teams are borne by pro or junior clubs who loan players to Hockey Canada for international tournaments.
Among the 142 senior and developmental players currently participating in a Calgary camp are 19 women who won Olympic gold in Beijing in February. "It's a valid concern, especially long term," said Gina Kingsbury, director of hockey operations for Hockey Canada's women's teams, to The Canadian Press. "We're entering territory that we don't fully understand. I'm trying to focus on what I can control.
But federal money is withheld until Hockey Canada meets St-Onge's conditions. They are a financial audit of the organization, producing the recommendations of an investigative report by a third-party law firm, developing an action plan to change culture, and becoming a signatory to the Office of the Integrity Commissioner.
