Those are pro leagues and only pro leagues. Hockey Canada is way different - it’s mandate is to promote and teach the game on a non-profit basis. So not really a business, and not really a labour thing. perhaps its functions should be split up though - grassroots/education/training, elite minor, and elite amateur/Olympics.

He's probably going to try and poison the panelists with criminally overpriced Bobby Nicks burgers...

Because that answer implies that some obviously crossed your desk, roughly how many? What did you do about them?

Some and enough that it's hard to remember.
If it was 3 - he would be able to remember.

Seeing as how he was the Head Honcho during the vast majority of these incidents and probably as The Big Cheese had to sign off on the establishment of Hockey Canada's 'Rape Hush-up Fund'....assuming it wasnt just his idea in the first place...the buck should stop squarely with him.

So come on Bob, your organization is responsible for this, dont give us a non-committal shrug and no answer.

The ship you built is sinking fast.

It astonishes me how people get away with this kind of BS!

And WTF is going on today? You've got BS Bob here, Former Cop Chu is pulling weird crap in council and then theres the article about the Calgary Teacher.

Whats the common thread we're seeing?

"People in Authority Positions abusing Authority and getting away with it."

They're supposed to be held to a 'Higher Standard,' not 'No Standard.'

Exactly. That answer suggests that the number is not a small number (like 3, for instance) that he could quickly guesstimate from memory.

It also strongly implies "I'd rather not say, because answering would reflect poorly on me"

I don't think they are getting away with anything.

I get the impression that the only reflecting he does, is in the mirror.

Bob said he was the CEO it wasn't his job but the Boards to put any policies in place but reflecting back he could have done more and wishes he could have.

Thanks Bob I am sure all the sexual assault victims appreciate you feeling remorse now.

Bob should be punted by the Oilers asap and scrubbed from Hockey Canada forever.

Or it implies that he doesn't know because he took no interest , and simply ignored them / passed them off.

But part of his job as CEO is to BRING these issues to the board, and seek direction as to policy. Either he did, and the board did nothing - unlikely, or he would be saying so, or he never did, or he agrees with the board's stance of doing nothing.

Trying to pass it off as the board's responsibility is not a defense for the CEO.

And any Board is going to ask the CEO for input on policies. They are volunteers and not in the day to day operations so they have limited ability to form policy without input.
