Hockey Canada says over 900 documented or alleged incidents of on-ice discrimination in 2021-22
Regarding alleged incidents, the OHF again had the highest number at 139, while Hockey PEI had the highest per capita at 0.38 percent with 21 incidents in its 5,570-player base. Racial incidents saw the highest number of alleged cases at 47 percent, while sexual orientation or gender identity sat in second at 40 percent.That’s a total of 927 incidents included in Hockey Canada’s report.
Hockey Canada said 67 percent of the allegations were reported against males, while officials reported 55 percent of the incidents. The organization said it will share a similar report after the 2022-23 season based around rule 11.4, which focuses on discrimination. “Education, awareness and discussion on processes were necessary in order to make improvements,” the report said. “As a result, there were inconsistencies in the rule application at times.”
Hockey Canada has been under scrutiny since a report in May revealed that Hockey Canada settled a sexual assault lawsuit related to an alleged incident at a 2018 gala in London, Ont. None of the allegations has been proven in court at the time of publication.One of the biggest pressure points was Canada’s use of funds – namely the National Equity Fund – to pay off sexual assault claims.
