progress that Hockey Canada has made to date. We officially informed Hockey Canada this week that we have pulled out of all men's hockey programming for the 2022-23 season including the men's world junior championships.

We continue to fund Canada's women's and para hockey teams, as well as youth hockey.''

Yesterday, we witnessed a pair of absolutely brutal testimonies from former chair Michael Brind'Amour and interim chair Andrea Skinner. These testimonies only served to make things worse for Hockey Canada.

Excellent, easy-to-follow thready by senior investigative reporter for The Athletic, Katie Strang, detailing yesterday's events:

This is the biggest loss for Hockey Canada to date, and it surely will not be the last. Scotiabank and Tim Hortons are two of Canada's largest brands.

Losing the two as advertising partners will have serious financial implications, especially when other key sources are withholding funds until Hockey Canada pleases the crowd.

Which will not happen until the leadership within the organization is overturned.
