Hockey Canada Funding Reinstated After Governance Reforms

The Canadian government restored funding to Hockey Canada after it instituted new reforms in the wake of a sexual assault scandal.
Hockey Canada settled a $3.55 million lawsuit out of court and elected a new board of directors after its previous leadership resigned.
To regain funding, Hockey Canada had to commit to more transparency, join the Abuse-Free Sport program, and continue implementing recommendations from an independent review.
The decision marks an important step for Hockey Canada to regain public trust, according to its board chair.
The funding was initially cut off due to Hockey Canada's handling of sexual assault allegations against members of the 2018 World Junior team.
