Summary:

This case study examines incidents of group sexual assault and rape (non-consensual intercourse), which occur in junior ice hockey with unfortunate regularity across Canada. As a result of these assaults, Hockey Canada faces key decisions that will impact the trajectory of the organization's brand and Canada's national game forever. Hockey Canada attempted to cover up multiple accounts of sexual assault claims, and used the National Equity Fund to pay millions of dollars in settlements. The general public sees Hockey Canada as promoting a culture of toxicity. Sponsors for Hockey Canada have dropped their funding, and provincial ice hockey organizations are withdrawing registration fees for the upcoming season. The turnover of executives and the board does not provide the public with confidence, and signs of reluctance to change within the internal corporate governance of the organization persist. Also, Team Canada's women's ice hockey team have called for Hockey Canada to be dismantled. The reader must decide how to fix Hockey Canada's culture and take definitive actions to rebuild its image and operations.
