The United States scored four goals in the third period for a comeback win to deny Canada a third straight world championship
And for some reason the government of Canada, or Hockey Canada, or both, thought this was an event that deserved to be upstaged.
Just past 5 p.m. on Sunday, about two hours before puck drop of one of the greatest rivalries in sport, Hockey Canada sent out a statement that the federal government was restoring its funding, which had been pulled last spring amid a flurry of scandals that resulted in theThe announcement called the renewed funding “an important milestone for Hockey Canada in our journey to earn and maintain the trust of Canadians.
Which, OK, fair point. It is definitely a milestone of sorts. But this was also a sold-out game with a national television audience, with Canada going for a third straight world title in less than two years, to add to the gold medal they won last year at the Beijing Olympics.
Ottawa pulled its funding last spring after revelations that Hockey Canada had quickly and quietly settled a lawsuit with a young woman who alleged that she had been sexually assaulted by a group of players after a 2018 banquet in London, Ont. Further reporting uncovered that the organization maintained a multi-million dollar fund, using fees collected from grassroots players, that had been used, in part, to pay out millions to settle liabilities that included sexual assault claims.
Pascal St-Onge, the Minister of Sport, was in Brampton to announce that the government had restored funding. Asked about the timing of the announcement, she said, “When we suspended the funding for Hockey Canada, it was never a matter of it being forever. It was so that proper change was implemented in the organization. I’ve set three conditions for them. They’ve met those three conditions.
