What this example fails to address is that there is a population of unknown size within the player base of Hockey Canada that has either committed an assault, knows something about an assault, or has helped cover up an assault. The organization of Hockey Canada itself is not the only party likely guilty in this case. If more and more people came forward with accusations towards the players of other junior teams, would you feel the same towards the players as a single entity?
An even larger part of that player base is part of the culture issue that also needs to be addressed in some manner, probably after verdicts have been reached.
I'm not hell bent on ruining international hockey for Canada but if the foundations of the driving organization behind those players and those tournaments is so morally corrupt then things secondary in importance to justice need to step back and wait their turn. A game does not take precedence over human wellbeing.

Until Parliament or some court-mandated resolution essentially removes the administration of Hockey Canada there is virtually no other outcome that results in a proper culling of historically toxic management.
You don't get to have this both ways unfortunately.
I'm sure the ratio of Mods and Site operations members is about the same to the amount of hockey players in Canada between 2003-2022. Let's be honest there is probably only a few ****ty humans out there that would do something like this.
I agree, there needs to be someone who steps in and does these investigation's on criminal actions.

Again, your failing is to miss the point me and others are trying to make here. The organization sure is a small part of the puzzle. Human welfare is what I am caring about here. Obviously this organization has screwed up the human welfare of certain individuals and bury the thing they have done. But let's not sit here and pretend that a sport for young people is not stopping a LOT of problem's. Sports are one of the major contributors to improved mental health, physical health, they bring up better humans because of the different disciplines that they are taught. Obviously if taught by the wrong person this isn't true but I'm talking on a general sense.
My solution would be this. Outright pause and income hockey Canada can make, put the organization in the hands of some other group of people and make sure that the name Hockey Canada isn't used until there is a resolution to the investigations. Then ban and take legal action against all those involved.
