Hockey Canada reports a 41% increase in penalties called for discriminatory taunts, insults, and intimidation during the 2023-24 season. The report highlights a growing awareness of maltreatment in hockey, with sex, sexual orientation, and gender-based slurs being the most common offenses leading to suspensions.
Hockey officials are whistling more penalties for discriminatory taunts, insults and intimidation on the ice, according to a Hockey Canada report.
Reports and allegations of discrimination officials didn’t catch on the ice, and required follow-up investigation, decreased 11 per cent to 1.3 per 1,000 last season from 1.5 the previous year. Hockey Canada defines maltreatment as “the wilful act or omission that results in or has the potential for physical or physiological harm,” including bullying, harassment and discrimination.
