this is something that doesn't just start and end w/ hockey canada btw.

it's a tumblr blogger selling "crosbussy" merchandise to fans, and encouraging them to wear it to games. it is that very same tumblr blogger getting asked by a team to create their pride night merch. it is a tiktokker pointedly yelling "krak my back" next to home bench during warmups and making so many overt sexual comments both on and offline that a player's wife needs to speak up about it. it is seattle's media team intertwining itself so closely with the sexually explicit side of booktok that the franchise's reputation is permanently tainted.

it's a juniors coach assaulting the kids on his team and getting paid out by his organization. it is hockey canada and usa hockey continuing to push the envelope with what is excusable in their organizations. it is chronic drug and alcohol abuse being excusable until one of your players physically assaults his teammates.

it's a juniors player jumping out of a building and killing himself after failure to perform. it's a fifth overall pick refusing to show up to the team that drafted him because he's uncomfortable around the franchise staff, and becoming the joke of the league. it is said draft pick explicitly stating "i do not feel safe around [these] specific men" and the entire league calling him an entitled pussy anyway.*

it's a coach demanding to see the phones and private photos of the men he holds power over, threatening them with trades or waivers if they don't, and fans calling the men that speak up weak and soft.

this didn't come out of nowhere. you can't beat hockey culture out of hockey players from the top down. this starts with you, this starts with your kids, and this starts with what you say online. holding the nhl and hockey canada accountable doesn't mean shit when you yourself are part of the fucking problem.

welp just like everyone suspected

praying that girl FINALLY gets justice and a reminder that at the end of the day we support the name on the front of the jersey and not the back.

There’s two people I think everyone should be following about the WJC 2018 case.

It’s Katie Strang and Rick Westhead. If it weren’t for them - this case would never of been in the spotlight. If you’re on Twitter still, I’d definitely recommend following them.

oh that’s not-

[toffoliravioli]

just a reminder that it is okay if you don’t want to watch the press conference today regarding the world juniors case, people have their own triggers and limits and that should be respected as it is a very sensitive topic for some, if I end up posting some things from the press I’ll be sure to put a trigger warning and if I forget pls let me know

if we hire That gm i dont even know what i will do as a fan tbh. i dont know if i can stomach More of my two favorite players playing in my face all for the sake of winning

yeah its. well. like if any of those men involved get a job in the nhl/w the oilers it’s just another instance of ��the worst thing you can be in professional sports is bad at the sport” (obviously also applies to those involved w the wjc 2018 case) which is bleak quite frankly because a drive to win comes w many costs one of them being morality and like. sure it has nothing to do w the players’ morality (as we see it/as they are to the public) if they play for a shitty gm (up and until they say something/do something etc etc) but hockey is a team sport through and through and in the nhl the gm and the owner and the ceo are all part of that team they’ll get their names engraved on the cup next to the players and the coach and could you celebrate an oilers’ cup win knowing that the organisation itself is rotten top down

names have been confirmed & i’m seriously praying this woman gets justice. i can’t even imagine the past few years of her life & it breaks my heart knowing these men basically almost ruined it. praying she can find peace after this ღ

E.M. IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE STRONGEST BADASS MOTHAFUCKA. QUEEN YOU HAVE EVERY PERSON TIRED AS FUCK OF HOCKEY CULTURE BEHIND YOU. WE ARE ANGRY. WE ARE WITH YOU

[dumbasssportsboys]

possibly controversial take here, but i don’t think any of the news released yesterday/today was about distracting from the investigation because i don’t think the nhl sees it as their problem.

plus the only news was that smith in slc actively asked for an expansion team and more details about the all star game which is literally next week. so this stuff would be hitting even without the investigation update.

like its obvious to us that hockey culture’s pretty bad at all levels, and thus this is all connected and relevant, but we also think it’s obvious that repeated head injuries can lead to brain damage

I'm not for ONE MINUTE JUSTIFYING the Flames using mental health as a reasoning for Dillon Dube's leave of absence but the way that statement was worded makes me think he definitely was having some kind of mental health breakdown in response to being informed he had to turn himself in. I don't feel sympathy for him at all, but don't think the statement was an complete lie just hugely insulting
