Hockey Canada sexual assault


Hockey Canada higher-ups could soon be asked to answer for the governing body's decision to settle a sexual assault lawsuit in late May.

Conservative MP Kevin Waugh, who's serving on the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage in the House of Commons, told TSN's Rick Westhead the lawmakers could vote as early as Wednesday to determine whether to ask Hockey Canada executives to testify before the subcommittee about the abuse allegations and provide evidence regarding the settlement.

In a lawsuit filed in April, a woman said eight CHL players, including several members of Canada's 2017-18 world junior team, sexually assaulted her in June 2018 in a London, Ontario, hotel after a Hockey Canada event.
