Worth reading. I found this part particularly interesting:
“Hockey Canada told its Members and the Heritage Committee in Parliamentary hearings that the National Equity Fund, in addition to insurance premiums and claims, also pays for a wide range of safety and wellbeing and wellness initiatives. Hockey Canada said the NEF also paid for player counselling and treatment such as for injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Cromwell’s review of Hockey Canada’s financial statements and its general ledger does not clearly show that the National Equity Fund paid for counselling or treatments for players. Cromwell is concerned that these expenses were not recorded.
Not wanting to get into a defamation suit, please re-read the above paragraph. In effect, it means that what Hockey Canada said could not be verified.
The expenses for all the good things Hockey Canada claims to have spent NEF money on, its wellness programs and players' treatment, Cromwell couldn’t find in its financial records.”
