Hockey Canada just can’t stay away from controversy.
At least this time it’s not about foul play, which is a good start. But it’s still quite serious.
It’s not complicated, the organization is accused of discriminating against Quebecers. He is the young man” title=”

” target=”_blank”>Zachary Bolduc, who just got cut off, who went there with the following statement:
“As a Quebecer and francophone, you walk away with a take or two. They didn’t really give me a chance, I didn’t play on the power play or the penalty, so it was a bit difficult to show what I could bring to the team even though I played well five on five. It’s up to us to take a chance, but they don’t put you in a winning environment. »
Obviously, the young man is disappointed. But I don’t think that’s the only thing that prompts him to make such a statement. It’s not the first time we’ve heard something like this.
And it is very difficult to know what is true and what is not.
One thing that should also be specified is that one of the trainer de Bolduc absolutely shares his opinion.
Nor is Simon Gagné the first to arrive.
A situation that will probably be talked about a lot in the coming weeks. Can’t wait to see if Hockey Canada responds.
You will recall that Guy Boucher, a coach who was a part of the Hockey Canada program, often claims that quite the opposite is happening. We try to have as many Quebecers as possible, even if they are not the most deserving.
Stéphane Leroux, who covered the preparatory matches, adds his two cents.
According to him, Bolduc was simply not the best.
