We officially informed Hockey Canada this week that we have pulled out of all men’s hockey programming for the 2022-23 season, including the men’s world junior championships.
“We continue to fund Canada’s women’s and para hockey teams, as well as youth hockey.”

Conservative MP John Nater called the minutes “deeply troubling” deeming they displayed that Hockey Canada “is more concerned about shifting the narrative than actually meaningfully implementing change.” As he stated, the minutes directed Hockey Canada “to get the message into the public, get ahead of communication and shift the narrative (to be) the National Equity Fund is in place to protect children or programs and to take care of any victims, settlement payments must be viewed in a positive manner not a negative manner.”
The questioning was contentious throughout with the committee chair and MPs repeatedly voicing their frustration, as Julian stated, that Hockey Canada’s “transparency has not been forthcoming.”
The Hockey News – Kennedy – What You Need To Know After Hockey Canada’s Hearing From Oct. 4
Sal says that some MP should have had the balls to walk up to Skinner and tell her to get her ass out of the Hockey Canada Chair the moment she commented that she’d “had very little time to prepare for this hearing.” You’re the interim Chair of the Board of Hockey Canada and you claim you’ve had little time to prepare for hearings that you had weeks of notice that they were coming. Her attitude shows just how little effort is put in by the entire Hockey Canada Board and executives.

That Skinner is so far out of touch with her responsibilities as a Board member that it’s scary to think that someone like her got appointed to the Board of Hockey Canada.
