Sounds like a good excuse to save on marketing cost for the coming recession?

Always pull out.

Expensive to have kids these days.

Do we get to talk about combining hockey and rape, again??!

I'm a big believer in the value of sport for kids, but what a total fucking shitshow. Drain the swamp.

Wrong thread lol

Protecting rapists and abusers is a pretty bad look. Best case you don't have any, but apparently that's difficult. Minimum bar is to find, report and remove those that you do have inside your organization. Absolute minimum.

Ya the optics look terrible. I can't believe how this was handled by HC.

They control the bank account that pays the out of court settlements for sexual assault and rape cases.

Not hockey. Literally any other sport is ok except for hockey.

Hockey Canada itself gets taxpayer dollars. From all levels of government. ~$20M over the past four years from the federal government. Alberta paid over $4M for the World Juniors along with Edmonton/Red Deer chipping in over a half million on top of that, and Calgary with a half million for various tournaments and events. BC and Vancouver/Victoria much the same for the previous World Juniors.

Their books look similar to the Mormon church.
Smoke and mirrors while padding the upper's pockets.
Only difference is, no one's "gone missing".
