Ontario Coach Facing Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit After Altercation With Young Player

Today a new announcement confirmed that a youth coach in Ontario will be facing a massive lawsuit for an altercation with a young player.

A report by investigative reporter Rick Westhead has confirmed that a hockey coach in the London area is being sued along with Hockey Canada. According to Westhead, an altercation left a young player «physically battered» by the coach in question. Below is a full summary of the events provided by Westhead.

This is once again another example of Hockey Canada not properly protecting those under their responsibility.

Add this lawsuit to the investigation into the 2018 Canadian WJC Championship team that has not been resolved. Along with these incidents are things like the Wenatchee Wild coach in the WHL being suspended for misconduct with a player as well.

Hockey Canada has said they are trying to improve and make the game of hockey a safer place for all parties involved. To this point at any level, this has not been the case. Hockey Canada will have plenty of work to do to clean up their image and show that they have made true strides in these areas.
