Women's advocates use Hockey Canada sexual assault trial to confront players with hard lessons on consent
As the high-profile sexual assault trial involving five former world junior hockey players unfolds in London, Ontario, women's advocates are seizing the moment to address deeper cultural issues around consent and accountability in sports. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The trial, centered on allegations stemming from a 2018 incident, has become a catalyst for education and prevention efforts across the country. The trial is sparking real-time education for young male athletes For gender-based violence prevention groups, the trial has created a crucial opportunity to speak directly to young men—especially athletes—about consent, power, and responsibility. 'I think for young men and for hockey players, they're watching what these five defendants have gone through and they won't want to be in that position,' said Allison Preyde, education manager at Anova in London. 'They don't want to be dragged through that to put their careers on the line, so we're having conversations about how to make situations safer and what situations aren't worth the risk. ' Preyde's work highlights the importance of early and consistent education on these issues—especially within sports environments where silence, loyalty, and groupthink can often override individual judgment. Consent education is evolving—and it needs to start much earlier Across Canada, programs like Consent in Sport are trying to reshape how athletes understand and talk about sexual boundaries. Hanna McGee, who leads this initiative through the Saffron Centre in Alberta, says many young athletes don't fully grasp the weight of their social influence. 'Often, athletes don't even realize the significance of their social status... With a lot of that power comes a lot of responsibility,' McGee explained. Her message resonates in locker rooms and hockey rinks, where peer pressure and tight-knit bonds can sometimes lead to harmful behavior. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'It can turn into a harmful groupthink,' she said, adding, 'How you act and carry yourself is going to follow you forever.' While leagues like the OHL have implemented mandatory programs like Onside, advocates argue that waiting until players are teenagers is too late. 'Particularly for people who are in the culture of sports and in locker rooms, having those conversations as early as possible is key,' Preyde emphasized. Also Read: With a national spotlight on the case, there is a growing urgency to rethink how consent, respect, and personal responsibility are taught—well before athletes enter the junior leagues.

How women's advocates are using the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial to talk to players about consent
A month after the start of the high-profile sexual assault trial of five former junior hockey players in London, Ont., advocates against gender-based violence are using the proceedings to teach young men about consent and their responsibilities as role models for others. "I think for young men and for hockey players, they're watching what these five defendants have gone through and they won't want to be in that position," said Allison Preyde, the manager of prevention and education at Anova, the gender-based violence centre in London. "They don't want to be dragged through that to put their careers on the line so we're having conversations about how to make situations safer and what situations aren't worth the risk." Former hockey teammates Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dubé and Cal Foote are each charged with sexual assault. McLeod is additionally charged with being a party to the offence. In June 2018, they were in London for a gala to celebrate their teams' world junior gold medal win earlier that year. After a night of drinking at a local bar, McLeod went home with a woman, known in court proceedings as E.M., for consensual sex. He later invited his teammates to his room to have sexual relations with the woman, something she says she didn't consent to. Their trial started April 22 and included the nine-day testimony and cross-examination by five defence teams of E.M., who said she at times went along with what the men wanted because she was scared and had never been in a similar situation. In the witness box, she described her mind separating from her body as a coping mechanism. Evidence presented at trial included text messages sent by McLeod inviting his teammates to his hotel room for group sex, and the players texting each other in the days and weeks following the incident when police and Hockey Canada began investigating, assuring each other that they did nothing wrong. Consent, the Crown has said, is at the heart of the case. "We talk a lot about power imbalances, and how that power can be used for good because our position is that athletes are not bad or that sports are bad," said Hanna McGee, the Youth Outreach Coordinator at the Saffron Centre, a sexual assault centre in Sherwood Park, Alberta. McGee developed a program called Consent in Sport, which delivers education to athletes as young as 13, including those in the British Columbia Hockey League. "Often, athletes don't even realize the significance of their social status, their influence, even in small communities where they're highly regarded and treated like celebrities. With a lot of that power comes a lot of responsibility," McGee said. Being on a sports team can mean making friends for life, but can also make it difficult to speak up and stop negative behaviour, McGee said. "It's absolutely crucial in the world of sports to be able to lean on our teammates and lean on our coaches. But it can turn into a harmful groupthink, where we can deflect responsibility, we can act without autonomy, we can blame others for our actions. How you act and carry yourself is going to follow you forever," she said. "The trial provides an opportunity for us to really think about the significance of impact over intent and thinking about consent being truly freely given and truly ongoing." In 2016, the Ontario Hockey League launched a program called Onside, which consists of a two-hour mandatory training program that teaches players and team staff about their responsibility to demonstrate respect for women. Local sexual assault and gender-based violence centres are supposed to deliver the course to OHL teams. But Preyde, who has delivered the Onside seminar to members of the London Knights junior hockey team in the past, said consent training has to start much earlier. "Particularly for people who are in the culture of sports and in locker rooms, having those conversations as early as possible is key," she said. "We need to get them thinking about, 'What does consent mean? What is healthy? What is not healthy? What does it mean to be a good friend? 'The lack of that conversation early on really sets up junior hockey players for a really touch time, not just as people who are potentially assaulting, but for people who are at risk of assault, too."

Ex-teammates of accused testify at Hockey Canada sexual assault trial 6 days ago Duration 4:12 The sexual assault trial of five former Hockey Canada world junior players continues in a London, Ont., court. All five have pleaded not guilty. Tuesday marks the first day that testimony at the trial will be heard by a judge alone, after Justice Maria Carroccia discharged the jury late last week. Their trial started April 22 and included the nine-day testimony and cross-examination by five defence teams of E.M., who said she at times went along with what the men wanted because she was scared and had never been in a similar situation.
