A former judge on the Supreme Court of Canada will lead an independent review of Hockey Canada’s governance amid calls for a change of leadership of the governing body for its handling of recent allegations of sexual assault against players. The review will look at the organization, its system and its structures, as well as Hockey Canada’s use of its “National Equity Fund.” Until recently, it was used for settlements of sexual assault claims. The judge, Thomas Cromwell, was on the Supreme Court of Canada from December 2008 to September 2016.
