Hockey Canada executives testify about sexual assault lawsuit settlements

Share! :D

Top executives from Hockey Canada are playing defence in Ottawa.

They testified before a Parliamentary committee about how the organization dealt with sexual assault accusations against players and whether public funds were used to settle a lawsuit from an alleged victim.

The lawsuit stems from an alleged sexual assault in 2018, when a now 24-year-old woman accused eight Canadian Hockey League players, including some members of the National Junior Team, of assaulting her in a London, Ont. hotel room.
