TSN Investigation into Hockey Canada Sexual Assault Allegations
Green Light for Investigation
TSN was given the green light to investigate Hockey Canada despite the World Juniors being a cash cow for the organization. The decision came after the victim of an alleged sexual assault went to the police.
Lack of Evidence Closes Investigation
The London police opened an investigation in 2018 but closed it due to a lack of evidence. However, police investigators recently stated that they have reasonable grounds to believe that five members of the 2018 world junior hockey team were involved in the alleged assault.
Public Statements from Team Canada Players
Many members of Team Canada who won gold at the 2018 IIHF world junior championships have made public statements regarding the allegations. Some players have denied any wrongdoing, while others have expressed support for the victim and called for a thorough investigation.
Ongoing Investigation and Accountability
The TSN investigation is ongoing, and the results will likely have significant implications for Hockey Canada and the world of hockey. The organization has faced mounting pressure to hold itself accountable and to create a safer environment for players. This investigation is a crucial step towards addressing these concerns and ensuring the well-being of athletes.
