‘Voters don’t have a clue who he is.’ Readers fear the real Pierre Poilievre, plus other letters to the editor for Aug. 15
Great article by Jashvina Shah on hockey’s toxic culture. As a long-time figure skating coach, I have witnessed multiple incidents of aggression, harassment and physical endangerment of our young, predominately female skaters by young male hockey players, egged on by their coaches and endorsed by their parents.
Of course, there are civil coaches who train their boys to be respectful and I applaud them. But as for the others, Hockey Canada should be an organization that responds to such concerns and acts on them. This has not been the case.Hockey Canada has lost sight of its main mission: to promote amateur hockey in Canada. If the organization is serious about changing its culture and getting back to its roots, it should create a new division of mixed hockey: boys and girls together.
By the way, in the very essence of amateur sport competition, look at the Special Olympics; they have had mixed sport for many years.As it did with Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, the role of a nondisclosure agreement features prominently in Hockey Canada’s sexual misconduct scandal. The House of Commons committee investigating the allegations has demanded details from Hockey Canada relating to its use of NDAs. It should dig deeper into the organization’s wider use of these gag orders.
