Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Hockey Canada’s leadership has lost the confidence of the federal government — and Canadians. Trudeau made the comments to reporters on Wednesday. They came after Hockey Canada’s board of directors released a statement earlier this week saying it supported president and CEO Scott Smith and his executive team despite calls for a change in the organization’s leadership. Hockey Canada has come under fire for its handling of sexual assault allegations involving players with the 2003 and 2018 world junior teams. “It’s pretty clear that both the government and Canadians in general have lost confidence in the leadership at Hockey Canada,” Trudeau said. “And the longer it takes for Hockey Canada to realize that, the more difficulty they’re going to face.” Interim board chair Andrea Skinner announced the agency’s executive support in a statement posted Monday on its website. The statement did not detail the reason for the show of support, but said the board is making “continuous efforts to restore the confidence of Canadians in hockey and Hockey Canada,” which include a governance review.

Man speaks out about allegedly sexually assaulting members of 2003 World Juniors hockey team
Warning: This story contains sexually graphic details that may disturb readers Disturbing details have emerged about an alleged gang sexual assault by some members of Canada’s World Juniors hockey team in 2003. A man who recently gave Halifax police the names of two of players who may be involved, says he saw a recording from nearly 20 years ago of the alleged incident.
“Actual Account”
It’s the second time Trudeau has called out Hockey Canada for its response to the allegations. Speaking in Nova Scotia on July 21, Trudeau said there needs to be a “real reckoning” at Hockey Canada for its handling of the 2018 allegation and subsequent out-of-court settlement with the complainant. The federal government froze funding to Hockey Canada after it was revealed the organization had quietly settled a lawsuit by a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by members of the 2018 junior men’s team at the Hockey Canada gala in London, Ont., that year. Several of Hockey Canada’s corporate partners suspended their support of Hockey Canada after executives spoke out from MPs during a meeting of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage about the organization’s response to the alleged attack. The results were evident at the world junior championships earlier this month in Edmonton, where the ice and boards at Rogers Place were almost entirely free of advertising. Hockey Canada later said members of the 2003 junior team were under investigation for alleged sexual assault in Nova Scotia.
