Altercation Leads To Major Investigation
A new video circulating the internet has led to an investigation from Hockey Canada. The video shows a GTHL U10 hockey coach slashing and shoving a player during practice. The coach is under fire for not following Safe Sport protocols put in place by Hockey Canada.
I was sent this video today, one of several that were purportedly filmed during a U10 GTHL team practice last night.
GTHL comment: "The GTHL is required to report incidents it suspects may be a violation of the Hockey Canada safe sport policies to the Independent Third Party working on behalf of Hockey Canada. The league can confirm that it has filed a report regarding an incident that occurred on Nov. 29, 2023."
