TSN and RDS have not indicated any change in their plans to broadcast tournaments involving Hockey Canada, including August’s world junior men’s championship in Edmonton
on Tuesday with an open letter calling on the organization to “move with a sense of urgency in order to ensure that the game we love is held to the highest standards.”
Accounting firm BDO Canada, Canadian Tire and Chevrolet are among other sponsors to announce a pause on support. Victor Mete, an Ottawa Senators defenceman and member of the gold-medal-winning team, said on Twitter that he was in Jamaica with his family at the time of the incident, “and only learned of the situation recently through media reports.” He added that he is “deeply troubled by reports of this incident” and, should his help be requested by investigators, he is prepared to “fully co-operate in any way I can.
Mr. Mete’s statement came as sponsors continued to abandon Hockey Canada. On Thursday, Recipe Unlimited, which owns Swiss Chalet and The Keg, announced it was suspending its support. “We will continue to be in contact with Hockey Canada to outline our expectations for change and to ensure the right steps are being taken to pave a safer and more inclusive future for hockey in Canada,” said a statement sent to The Globe.
