What happened: The Ontario Hockey Federation found two U-13 players violated its conduct code by repeatedly entering a women’s dressing room at Scotiabank Pond Arena on March 1 while players were changing and showering. The panel declined to suspend the boys, citing their apologies, remorse and acceptance of responsibility.
Why it matters: Sarah Emara and Katie Armstrong said the episode illustrates how hockey culture can minimize privacy violations and discourage women from speaking up. The ruling instead places disciplinary responsibility on the adults charged with supervising the youth players.
By the numbers: Emara said the boys entered three or four times. About a dozen women were in various stages of undress, according to TSN.
What to watch: Paul Tamburro and three staff members must complete courses on gender-based violence in sport and proper player supervision.
