Hockey Canada scandal could impact minor hockey enrolment
“Hockey altogether is an expensive sport, and for people kind just scraping money to play the game under Hockey Canada, you want that money going to good things and good causes,” says Ryan Straschnitzki, a former Humboldt Bronco.It was revealed Hockey Canada’s multi-million-dollar Nation Equity Fund reserved for uninsured payments comes from player registration fees. The organization said on Wednesday around $7.
Director of Hockey Operations for Prince Albert Hockey, Tyson Dallman, says he hopes some people remember the positive power sport is able to create.“The friendships you create last a lifetime. Far longer than your hockey career likely will, but I think it’s a place where people can come gather and connect, and hopefully create positive experience,” Dallman says.
“The cost of enrolling kids in hockey, and the travel, and the equipment and everything that goes along with it. The fees you don’t see up front when you pay your registration.”Straschnitzki is currently training for the 2026 Canadian Men’s Paralympic hockey team, and says while hockey is a big part of who he is, he understands if parents reconsider registration.
