It does not matter if the players knew about a slush fund or not. The fact that it is was created says more about the mentality of the old Hockey Canada regime. If you are creating a fund to pay off lawsuits you are expecting poor behaviour from your athletes.

"Boys will be boys"
"She put herself in that position"
"She was asking for it"
"We cannot let a small indiscretion ruin these boys' careers"

Hockey Canada will never admit to saying this stuff, but there actions show they support that line of thinking. Same goes for a lot of the comment sections (I can only read them for a few finger scrolls before I feel nauseated). The kids might be the problem, but the reason they are this way is from the adults influencing them. It's a horrible cycle that needs to end. Unfortunately it will not be in my lifetime and at 48 I am barely half way done. Some people present as good humans, but when the light shines on them you find out how horrible they can be.

I think what you are saying is deflecting blame away from who did these terrible things. Slush fund or not, these 5 made the choice to sexually assault someone. They are sex offenders.

1000's of kids play hockey every year and even with evil Hockey Canada apparently setting some mentality, they manage not to rape a girl. Is that just luck? I don't think those 5 doubled checked to make sure there was a slush fund in place to pay this girl off before they made the choice to do what they did and I don't think if there wasn't one, they would have not done it.

These 5 are dirt bags, they are criminals, it's no one elses fault they did it but theirs.

The flush fund is a separate issue to the event, but connected to the sport mentality of the players. More of this happens than we see. Growing up in a Junior hockey city that is very small, I can attest to hearing rumours of similar behaviour, albeit this was 30 years ago. Police made a lot of DUI's go away for the chosen ones in my day. What else was covered up?

Currently having teenage daughters in the only high school the Raiders WHL team can attend, I can confidentially say that the aura of "I can get away with things because I am Prince Albert Raider" still exists. The only saving grace is that hockey has started to take a back seat to other sports, and the 'shine' of playing Junior hockey is not as big a deal anymore.

And the blame falls on the individual who commits the crime, but it does not abscond the others who perpetuate the behaviour or mentality.

I agree, these high end hockey players, a lot of them think they can do no wrong. But that comes from their HOME.

My oldest goes to school with a bunch of kids who have been double AA since U 11. They are in grade 7. Most of these kids aren't going to Hockey Canada tournaments yet. So where do you think the attitude they already have, some of them have without doing anything with Hockey Canada yet, came from?

If it's so indoctrinated into these kids because of Hockey Canada, and they in whatever way let these kids know there are no rules or laws, do what you want, it's expected, how come it doesn't happen every year? I got 2 boys. It's my job as their dad to turn my boys into men. If my boys don't know how to respect women when they get older, that's on me. I'm not pointing the finger at their hockey coaches or the hockey association and saying it's their fault. If my boys start to become cocky little craps who think they can do whatever they want, then it's on me to correct that, not their hockey coach.
