Rick Westhead: Another woman comes forward alleging she was sexually assaulted by a group of major-junior hockey players.

[Oleksiak]

His show being the national news?

AFAIK Rick Westhead doesn't have his own show. But I could be wrong.

Rick Westhead belongs in the HHOF for his work in exposing the dark underbelly of hockey culture

 

[dirtydanglez]

Yeah oh noez how will Team Canada possibly survive without *checks notes* Dillon Dube and Michael McLeod.

... so far. we have no idea who is involved in the newest round of allegations.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Look anyone growing up around Hockey Canada, hell, this country knows this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Disgusting.

 

[nbwingsfan]

You mean to tell me star teenage athletes who are old they’re kings for years do horrible things??

We need to stop idolizing young athletes. They turn out to be, for a large part, horrible people until they mature.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Innocent until proven guilty.

 

[Heldig]

Tip of the iceberg. Like P Diddy parties.

I just wish other sports / organizations were investigated as well. Zero chance there are not similar issues with NCAA athletes et al.

 

[joelef]

We’re all the people calling nba players “ clowns” in this place?

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Hockey Canada had a hush fund to protect rapists. This is no surprise, sadly. I expect this is just another domino and more stories will come out.

 

[McGarnagle]

Hockey Canada is just one big P Diddy party isn't it?

 

[joelef]

The only difference is that hockey fans have went on there high horse saying that hockey players weren’t “ clowns “ like basketball and football palyers

 

[John Mandalorian]

Where there is smoke there is fire, who knows how many cover ups there have been

If you go by "tip of the iceberg" logic, for every one you know about, there are six that you don't know about.

 

[saska sault]

Hockey Canada is just one big P Diddy party isn't it?

Hitting from behind is normal around Hockey Canada.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Yeah oh noez how will Team Canada possibly survive without *checks notes* Dillon Dube and Michael McLeod.

Carter Hart would probably have been on the team

Too early to say if this is Hockey Canada again......although it probably is. Again.

 

[Eegs]

Why the cliffhanger? Just tell us.

I don't like how gleeful he seems to have the scoop, instead of treating the topic of rape with the seriousness it deserves.

I hope none of these scumbags made the NHL.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but i don't see glee in his post

I guess they want people to tune in and watch ...

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Sports culture is gross

 

[Mr Kot]

feels great not supporting hockey canada /nhl with my money for the past 15 years or so. Remember, until this all changes, withdraw your money!

Ontario woman alleges sexual assault by junior hockey players; details what happened when she called police

The OPP has acknowledged that one of its employees did not follow the organization's policy when an alleged victim of sexual assault called its London detachment earlier this year to report an incident involving eight former junior hockey players.

www.ctvnews.ca

The woman, who is now 32, said she contacted the OPP on Feb. 28 to report an alleged assault in November 2014. […] The alleged victim goes by the pseudonym, Anne Marie.

She said that when she was 22, she was in a consensual relationship with a 19-year-old Ontario Hockey League player for about six months when he invited her to watch TV with one of his teammates at his billet home, the home where he lived during the hockey season.
Anne Marie said when she visited the player and went with him into the basement, there were eight players there. After the 19-year-old player took her into the bathroom, they started fooling around. What began as a consensual act became a group sexual assault, the woman said.
Anne Marie said she felt trapped and was assaulted for about 90 minutes. She said she froze and “pretty much blacked out.”

Sports culture is gross

Sport culture fosters an environment that leads to these types of incidents but other young males are more than capable of committing such acts. From my perspective a lot of it comes down to a lack of education. We live in a society that in large part frowns upon teaching young adults/teenagers sexual education. I think sporting organizations should play a role in teaching their athletes about consent but that's a shit storm waiting to happen unfortunately.

I guess I just don’t understand why you’d want 8 of your buddies having a go at your girlfriend.

 

[JPT]

Innocent until proven guilty.

Are we doing jury instruction or something?

A lot of times it's a control thing.

Its just racism. Rich white kids couldn't possibly do anything wrong !!

 

[JIMVINNY]

knock it off.

Seriously.

Of course. Because women never ever levy false accusations against men with means, right? Right?!?!

Allegation of this nature are serious. VERY serious. But our justice system is built around the idea that an individual is innocent until proven guilty. No one has been charged, no evidence released, how can anyone possibly have been proven guilty? You can't just change the rules simply because your entirely subjective opinion is that they MUST be guilty.
