Hockey Canada could have done a lot more to try and prevent this from happening. They could have told their athletes something like "Upstanding behavior is a requirement to be involved in Hockey Canada in any capacity. Any athletes who engages in criminal or morally reprehensible behaviour will be investigated, and if HC finds offense, we will report you to police and publicly ban you from all future participation with the organization".

That's just an example. Most organizations have some sort of policy like this in place to deter bad behaviour.

Instead they have a history of sweeping things under the rug and protecting their bad players. That sort of thing encourages bad behaviour, instead of deterring it. The players are ultimately accountable of course, but to say HC did everything they could is not accurate.

I disagree that it's all on the parents. Everyone's environment is different and parents are not around 100% of the time. I have seen really good parents with kids who have gone down the wrong path. It doesn't make them bad parents. The other way, there are also kids with a terrible home life who turn into decent people (it's really hard but it happens).

'It takes a village to raise a child' is an old saying for a reason. We all need to do our part. One can argue that the Village is way too big these days to function properly, but that's another discussion.

Hockey Canada certainly did have policies in place long before the 2018 team was playing. The thing is policy doesn't actually do a great job of regulating behavior. I found the 10-11 HC policy manual which is a pretty interesting read. Its focus, in these policies, is very much on Graham James issue that was exploding at the time.

On an semi-related note, I think I can add Theo Fleury to my list of hockey regrets. My dislike of him exceeded what was warranted for even a Flames player. I took delight in leading Rexall cheers against him when he played for the Rags and watching him mentally struggle. Don't get me wrong, I still wish his name wasn't on the Cup. Only because it's under the Calgary Flames, not because I dislike him as a person.

Good find. Communication of the policy, and proving it through actions, is also key. It needs to be worth more than the paper it is written on.
