Episode description

After months of criticism over their handling of sexual assault allegations, the CEO and the entire board of directors of Hockey Canada are stepping down. And it's just the first step according to Judy Haiven. She's is the founder of a group called Equity Watch, a human rights organization dedicated to fighting bullying and discrimination in the workplace. Along with their reluctance to openly denounce rape culture, Haiven says they've been accepting fees from hockey players to go towards settling cases out of court and preventing women and girls from telling their story. She says Halifax and Moncton should refuse to host the World Junior Hockey Championships, and there should be an inquiry. She also offers her thoughts on what hockey players and supporters should do to improve the tarnished image of our national sport.
