It is absolutely insane that hockey Canada remains this out of touch and defiant. It's almost like they're daring people to destroy the organization, believing at the end of the day this is all a bunch of hot air and that they're too important to the country somehow for it to actually fall apart.

If hockey Canada won't clean house on its own then somebody else just needs to make another organization to go up against it that would be structured properly and honor proper conduct. This would give all the sponsors and other supporters a place to flock to right now and help support the new organization that can overtake what is clearly just a complete dysfunctional clusterf*** right now that remains too arrogant to realize how f***ed up it really is
 
What are the foundational facts of this whole thing?

Sexual assault allegations, unproven in court, were made against players who participated in a HC event (and were part of Team Canada?).

HC was named as a defendant in the lawsuit and decided to settle.

The funds for the settlement came from a fund that HC has to cover unexpected annual expenses (for lack of a better term).

Is there anything else significant?

Worst case scenario? Hockey Canada loses NSO status. But this is unlikely, assuming there are a few high level resignations (staff and the board).

NSO stands for National Sport Organization, which in the case of Hockey Canada means recognized by the Feds as THE governing body for amateur ice hockey domestically and the nation’s representative internationally.

Yes, the Feds can take it away. Up until 1948, the AAU had NSO status over US hockey, and after a complex/drawn out fight, AHAUS (forerunner of USA Hockey) got it.

So they could take away the American one, AAU no jurisdiction for Canada , if that’s what your trying to say. No idea what AAU would even mean, not that it’s important to HC.

Hockey Canada , would have some kind of a tie to Sport Canada.

I used the AAU in the United States only for illustrative purposes from a historical perspective. The larger point is simply that governments get to decide which organizations are (and are not) NSOs. This is why the BadgerBruce Hockey Federation cannot send a Canadian National hockey team to the Olympic Games.

This is good news. *Hopefully* this will do more to put pressure on the dam.

I honestly can't believe the arrogance of HC leadership. I guess as I reflect I shouldn't be surprised - but it's still kinda stunning.

What is the arrogance?
