Three decades of trying to change hockey culture

In today’s Big Story podcast, when Laura Robinson began reporting about violence and sexual assault in Canadian junior hockey the resistance was fierce, including from the country’s top commentator. But the years have obviously proven her correct, and exposed for all to see just what happens in locker rooms, buses and hotel suites.

“Most of the players don’t participate in these very serious, alleged, crimes, however everyone keeps the secret,” she said.

Now that Hockey Canada’s leadership has resigned, Robinson joins us to lay out the long road to what she hopes will finally be real change, the challenges and opportunities facing those who guide the game, and where Canada’s relationship to the game it loves goes from here.
