Absolutely. And I expect that’s a key part of the awareness programs Hockey Canada players will be taking going forward.
Because what these stories are revealing is that there’s something about the culture around elite hockey where it
is quite common to be the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th guy in. Some likely reasons: the entitlement that comes with being high-status heroes in their communities; the fact there are young women who throw themselves at these guys; they’re away from their families a lot and staying in shared hotel rooms; they’re trying to impress teammates in a hyper-macho environment; something weird about bonding over getting their dicks out in front of each other.
Edit: After reading the testimony from today, another to add to the list - the influence of porn. Research shows in the last decade or so the aesthetics and norms of porn have had a major influence on the kinds of sex young men expect. Unsurprisingly, this turns out not to suit the preferences of most women.
