For more than a year, the organization Hockey Canada talked about almost exclusively for the wrong reasons. We’ve heard a lot about the sex scandal involving the Canadian junior team in 2018, but it doesn’t stop there.
The direction may have changed, but the fact remains that many partners have left the ship.
And beyond this scandal, there is also one related to initiations through the three junior leagues in the country. Recall that Dan Carcillo is one of those who lifted the veil on the story, and after seeing the class action request denied, several former players filed lawsuits.
However, we learned today that another bad news is falling on the organization: the latter, like the CHL, is forced to sue insurance companies because they do not want to pay expenses related to events occurring during certain periods of time.
This was revealed by Rick Westhead today.
Insurance companies are threatening to withhold coverage from Hockey Canada and the CHL and its three major junior leagues and teams as they battle a high-stakes hazing, bullying and abuse lawsuit, court documents say.
Story from @rwesthead:

What you need to know is that there are currently two ongoing lawsuits in this story. The first targets companies AIG Insurance Company of Canada et TIG Insurance Companywhile the second targets Lloyd’s of Londona group where we find a few companies.
According to Hockey Canada, the fact that he’s had deals with the first two bands since 1998 and with the latter since 2014 means they should help foot the bill, given that the lawsuits came after their contract took effect. CONTRACT. On the other hand, the companies would not want to pay for events that occurred before the entry into force of their contracts.
This means that for lawsuits involving events that occurred in the early 1990s, for example, Hockey Canada would not have access to insurance money.
And in fact, these two lawsuits against the insurance companies are important for Hockey Canada. If he does not win his case, the organization would have a lot of difficulty paying in the event of the scenario where he were to lose several cases in court.
We can understand their frustration at not being able to rely on insurance considering that they are paying top dollar to be insured, but at the same time, it’s hard to have much sympathy for Hockey Canada these days…
We will therefore see what will result from these lawsuits, but once again, Hockey Canada talked about for reasons that have nothing to do with the product on the ice. And that is very unfortunate.
