MP Chris Bittle addresses a report from the Globe and Mail that revealed Hockey Canada used a fund consisting of youth players’ registration fees to pay out sexual assault cases, calling it “absolutely shocking” and “troubling.” Hockey Canada also releases a statement saying that it is conducting a full governance review, which would include the administration of the National Equity Fund. Hockey Canada acknowledges the fund is used to cover claims that aren’t covered by insurance premiums including “harassment” and “sexual misconduct.”
Jordan Kyrou, Taylor Raddysh, Robert Thomas and Sam Steel release statements denying any involvement in the 2018 incident.

All four players say that they will cooperate with any future investigations.
Scott Fenton, a criminal defence lawyer tells Global News that none of Wasserman Hockey’s six players — including Kyrou, Point and Raddysh, but also Jake Bean, Kale Clague, Carter Hart — who were on that 2018 team “engaged in wrongdoing.” They also cooperated with the London Police Service during their investigation in 2018, and were then “cleared of any wrongdoing.”
