The Greater London Hockey Association is aware of the serious allegations involving a U15 team within one of our member associations.First and foremost, our concern is for the well-being and safety of the young athletes involved. Situations of this nature are deeply concerning to our hockey community, and we recognize the impact they have on players and families.We can confirm that West London Minor Hockey Association followed required Hockey Canada and OHF policies upon receiving the complaint. The matter was reported promptly and escalated in accordance with established Safe Sport procedures. As required under national policy, the situation was referred to Hockey Canada’s Independent Third Party (ITP) for investigation.
Because this matter is under independent review and involves minors, we will not comment on specific allegations. Protecting the privacy of the young people involved is paramount.
We unequivocally condemn any alleged conduct that compromises player safety, dignity, or respect. Our mandate is clear: provide a safe, structured, and accountable environment for youth sport.
GLHA worked in coordination with West London to support players who were not implicated in the allegations.
We will continue to cooperate fully with Hockey Canada’s Independent Third Party and remain committed to transparency, strong governance, and continuous improvement in safeguarding our athletes.
