'This is the tip of the iceberg. And that's scandalous'

Despite Hockey Canada reopening its investigation into an alleged gang rape involving the 2018 World Junior team, an investigation in which the alleged victim will participate, many questions remain

Each one of these players will be required to participate in Hockey Canada’s reopened investigation into an alleged gang rape in 2018.

The Bloc Quebecois member of parliament who has been at the forefront of the Canadian Heritage standing committee investigating Hockey Canada’s response to an alleged gang rape involving the 2018 World Junior team said the changes the organizing body announced Thursday are a good start, but it doesn’t even come close to answering his key questions.

On the day Hockey Canada faced a deadline to turn over key documents related to the alleged incident and settlement with the alleged victim, it wrote an open letter to Canadians, essentially issuing a mea culpa for the way it handled the situation and asking for forgiveness. “Hockey Canada understands that trust is earned, not given,” the open letter stated. “We have heard from Canadians, players, their families, fans, sponsors and those impacted by what occurred in 2018. We know you are angry and disappointed in Hockey Canada – rightfully so. We know we have not done enough to address the actions of some members of the 2018 National Junior Team, or to end the culture of toxic behaviour within our game. For that we unreservedly apologize.”
