Ohhhhh that’s not great

The conversations were brief because Steenbergen was at development camp and was trying to focus on hockey.

In the first call, Dubé told him he’d gotten a call from Bullock, the Hockey Canada executive, to tell him there’d be an investigation. Dubé told Steenbergen to “just say what you saw” and to not mention what he saw Dubé do, and that Dubé would explain that himself.

The phone call with Foote was “pretty much the same,” Steenbergen said. “Don’t say what he did, that he would go in and explain it himself.”

Steenbergen says he understood that to mean he wasn’t to mention he saw Dubé slapping the woman’s butt or saw Foote do the splits.

(Steenbergen says he was a little confused because he didn’t actually see Foote do the splits, so he was confused about why Foote called him).

Steenbergen says that when he went to speak to the investigators hired by Hockey Canada, he decided he’d tell them what he saw if specifically asked, but wouldn’t volunteer the information.

The investigators didn’t specifically ask about what he saw Dubé or Foote do, so he didn’t say anything, Steenbergen says.
