“Today marks an important milestone for Hockey Canada in our journey to earn and maintain the trust of Canadians,” said Hugh L. Fraser, chair of the Hockey Canada Board of Directors.
“While I would like to thank Minister St-Onge and the government for their vote of confidence and for their ongoing efforts to prioritize safe sport in Canada, I also wish to stress that we still have work to do to change the culture of our sport, ” he added.
