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?

I am aware of three current alleged cases of sexual assault relating to Hockey Canada and hockey in Canada:
2018 WJC (trial scheduled for 9/2025)
2003 WJC (guessing this is kinda on the back burner until the 2018 is resolved)
2014 OHL case (just hit news last week) - 22yo allegedly raped by 8 players (ages 16-19) at billet house
I specifically left the 2014 one out since the topic is about Hockey Canada and so far there is no indication that Hockey Canada had any role in the 2014 one.

@LPHabsFan there's also the case of the male coach entering locker room of women's team when players were partially dressed, etc., that HC did not discipline and continues to coach.

People - if you actually follow through and read the report it has absolutely nothing to do with sexual assaults.
It's all about equal funding, equal ice times, equal opportunities for female players.
