Just stating exactly what the report says and not actually digging any deeper than that is not good journalism.
Plus the report was requested (and likely funded) by the CBC News. So trust me they have an angle here.

This is the article I read on this:

CBC News reached out to each Canadian NHL foundation for comment on the scores they were given by Charity Intelligence in their report. Initially some committed to interviews, but eventually backed out prior to publication. Instead, a written statement was provided on behalf of all the foundations.
"Ensuring that trust between our communities and our foundations remains in place, now and for years ahead, is paramount for our Canadian NHL clubs. Accordingly, our foundations are steadfastly committed to meeting and exceeding standards put forth by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in accordance with our charitable registration numbers," the statement read.

CBC quite literally asked for a comment before printing, and all the teams refused/backed out, instead publishing a joint statement that doesn’t say squat.
I would say that CBC did their due diligence.
