None of this ultimately matters unless there's actual significant punishment for Hockey Canada in regards to protecting the male national team(s) due to rape and sexual violence. Sure, there was monetary repercussions, but most of that was either because there was a clear out (Nike) or because the pandemic meant that they needed to cut costs and had a good reason to moralize (Canadian Tire)

If this was a just world, then the IIHF should absolutely sanction and ban the Canadian team from competition until these problems were solved, and the Feds would withhold funding to Hockey Canada as well. But until that actually happens, all of this is simply kicking the can down the road.

It's probably time to dispose of the CHL. That's the only way this will stop.

Considering all that is shaking out within D1 hockey / the rebels in the BCHL and AJHL, that's not really happening either.

How exactly will placing all of those sanctions on Hockey Canada help them in any way shape or form?

How will removing money from a sport where costs are already driving people out help to build a better future?

Also, to my knowledge, there are currently two sets of cases that are currently ongoing. The 2016 one and the investigation in to the 2003 one. Do we know whether or not anyone associated with those events are still with the organization?

Again, I will ask, assuming that those associated with HC are dealt with and gone, what sort of punishment will make up for those atrocious actions if true and to follow up, how will that be of benefit to the future development of hockey players of all genders across Canada, specifically the women and girls that we're talking about in this article?
