Good morning,
Hockey Canada’s official equipment provider, Bauer Hockey, is pulling financial support for the boys’s teams – including providing free equipment similar to helmets and gloves – and has been speaking with potential latest candidates about running to interchange current members of the organization’s board.
Bauer, which had already paused its sponsorship in the summertime over Hockey Canada’s handling of sexual assault allegations, said it was taking additional steps due to recent developments, including a gathering it held with top people on the organization.
Bauer executives met with Hockey Canada chief executive Scott Smith and then-interim board chair Andrea Skinner on Aug. 31, and got here away frustrated that the leaders didn’t commit to changes to deal with hockey culture in Canada.
After the developments last week, where Hockey Canada was accused of not fully answering questions at parliamentary hearings, Bauer is now acting further.

What should Canada do about intimate partner violence? Five ideas from five survivors
Intimate partner violence has been called the shadow pandemic, one which intensified as COVID lockdowns limited women’s ability to go away abusive partners, while a housing affordability crisis left them with nowhere to go once they may.
However the statistics have long been stark. There’s nothing subtle about this crisis. Every six days on average a girl is killed by an intimate partner, based on Statistics Canada. And greater than 4 in 10 women have experienced some type of this abuse of their lifetime.
When considering the policy changes needed to guard women susceptible to intimate partner violence, decision makers often overlook the group with arguably probably the most crucial insights: survivors with first-hand experience.

Moment in time: Oct. 11, 1952

First hockey game on TV in Canada
On today 70 years ago, hockey fans gathered around the tv, slightly than the radio, to look at the grainy black-and-white images of the National Hockey League’s first televised game in Canada. The matchup featured Gordie Howe’s Detroit Red Wings against Maurice Richard’s Montreal Canadiens, and far to the delight of diehard Habs fans on the Forum, the Canadiens won 2-1. Lower than one month later, on Nov. 1, broadcaster Foster Hewitt announced Hockey Night in Canada’s English-language debut between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins at Maple Leaf Gardens. Again the hockey gods smiled on Canada’s team because the Leafs went on to beat their U.S. rival 3-2. Despite the scratchy quality of those early broadcasts, hockey fans – no less than those lucky enough to own a television – loved watching the sport on TV. Because the technology improved, viewership did, too, and by 1954, when the variety of TV sets in Canadian homes was increasing by an estimated 50,000 every month, HNIC was the country’s top-rated show. It still ranks as Canada’s longest-running television program, with its theme song viewed by many as Canada’s second national anthem. Gayle MacDonald
