The Hockey Canada Situation
Members of Canadian women’s national teams join ‘fight for the truth’ in Hockey Canada investigation | Sportsnet.ca
The women’s national team members called on the organization to “ensure that all steps are taken and appropriate measures are put in place to ensure that this kind of behaviour is never again accepted and never repeated. Anything less would be a disservice to the common human decency we expect as a society and most certainly within the game of hockey, a sport that unites this country.”

Blackhawks’ Toews on future with team: ‘I really don’t know’ | Sportsnet.ca
I had the “area man disappointed to learn not every year can feature Stanley Cup win” bit all ready to go, but what Toews is actually talking about seems to be not so much the not-winning as a very isolating professional environment, where you bond with and mentor coworkers only to have them traded for draft picks. And yeah, that does sound frustrating.
