This just exposes what a toxic joke the whole Hockey Canada organization is. It enables the caveman aspects of hockey culture.

We’re 25 years on from exposing Graham James, and still… here we are, talking about a few bad apples and people who made mistakes. Give me a break.

They care more about winning World Junior Championships than they do about mentoring coaches and enforcing codes of conduct predicated on healthy childhood psychology in order to maximize the health and fun for children.

If you want to know an organization’s priority don’t listen to their lip service or read their “vision”, look at their budget.

Case in point, compare coaching resources with Hockey USA.

USA Hockey’s mobile coaches app is free. It’s a clearing house of on/off ice drills, skills, practice plans, literature, videos, etc. etc.

Hockey Canada?!? $40-50 annual subscription.

Total joke, and a sham of an organization. They can send 30 or 60 people to the World Juniors but charge a fee for coaching resources while sitting on millions in cash.

These guys can all sit in it.
