Hockey Canada opens brand new investigation
If you leave your child in the care of coaches in their sport of choice, such as hockey, you shouldn't have to worry about their safety.
Sadly, that has not been the case with Hockey Canada, as another scandal has rocked the organization.
Rick Westhead, TSN's muckraker, reports that there has been another incident involving a U-10 player and a GTHL coach.
I was sent this video today, one of several that were purportedly filmed during a U10 GTHL team practice last night.
GTHL comment: "The GTHL is required to report incidents it suspects may be a violation of the Hockey Canada safe sport policies to the Independent Third Party working on behalf of Hockey Canada. The league can confirm that it has filed a report regarding an incident that occurred on Nov. 29, 2023."
An U-10 hockey coach in the GTHL abuses his power over a young player in the video shown above. For not following his instructions and being out of position, he slashes a player.
Despite its faults, Hockey Canada has taken swift action in response to this violation of their Safe Sport policy.
The coach in question should never be allowed to coach youth hockey again, and his actions betray the trust of his players and their parents.
