This stuff can’t stand. Adult participants in the assault must be named, charged and tried if there’s any reasonable chance of the truth leading to a conviction.
London Police need to review their process(es) that let this go back in 2018.
Hockey Canada exec heads must roll for their perpetual ‘old boys’ approach to all these cases and specifically using minor hockey league registration fees to fund the pay off of 21 sexual misconduct claims is especially disgusting IMO.
While it seems like some strides have been made since the 80s, at least in the OHL, there’s still incidents like this, Mailloux, etc evey year where matters get swept under the rug, victims/whistleblowers get hushed, paid off, perps quickly get a ‘boys will be boys’ pass or serve minimum suspension, etc. Time to get serious with Safe Sport, etc and clean this up.
