More survivors come to surface after Hockey Canada's resuming of government hearing

Hockey Canada has had plenty of discussion involving assault in the sport of hockey, and their hearings have only brought more cases to the surface.

According to Rick Westhead, since Wednesday when Hockey Canada's government hearing resumed, 11 more survivors have reached out to tell him their stories. Westhead also explained on Twitter that one woman even found him in Ottawa to tell him her story in person.

Former NHLer Sheldon Kennedy also reported that this "is the tip of the iceberg" and that there will be many more survivors coming forward with their stories. Along with this, there will be more uncomfortable conversations that will be needed to be made in the coming weeks in order to help resolve this problem.

Since Hockey Canada's govt hearing resumed Wednesday, 11 more survivors have reached out to share their stories with me, including one remarkable woman who found me in Ottawa to tell me in person about her assault.
Profoundly grateful for the trust. 🙏— Rick Westhead (@rwesthead) July 30, 2022
