A portion of player registration fees from all age groups – from beginner Timbits Hockey to adult recreational leagues – flows into this reserve fund, but there is no evidence Hockey Canada tells parents and players the purpose of that money.

By its own assertion, the involvement of Hockey Canada’s insurance company in the settlement of the alleged gang rape lawsuit would have required a rigorous investigation into the allegations. Otherwise, no such settlement could be reached.
But the National Equity Fund appears to have no such controls. It can pay out at Hockey Canada’s discretion, with no outside scrutiny and no further investigation, since it is controlled by the organization itself.
