Economics and the World Juniors

Mayor Mike Savage says the World Junior Hockey Championship will go ahead as planned for Halifax and Moncton. That announcement came a day after the CEO and Board of Directors resigned from Hockey Canada, the group overseeing the sport in this country. The resignations are in response to a host of sponsors pulling their financial support after scandals broke involving sexual assaults, financial settlements and non-disclosure agreements.
