Also the Flames CEO has a son who played on that WJC team in Jake Bean and there still isn't clarity on if he's fully been cleared in this case...IIRC he was one of the players that released no statement on the accusations.
So lots of connections to hockey Canada and that WJC team in the Flames organization, but also lots of reasons why they'd be very sensitive to jump the gun on anything related to the topic.
