Ann Pegoraro is echoing calls for the executives at Hockey Canada to step down following its handling of sexual assault allegations.
Ann Pegoraro, the Lang Chair in Sport Management at the University of Guelph, believes a complete overhaul is needed at Hockey Canada.
Pegoraro said the Heritage Committee hearings in Ottawa into the sexual assault and abuse allegations exposed the lack of leadership at the top of the sport’s governing body.
Pegoraro said the current executive needs to step down in order for Hockey Canada to regain the public’s trust.
“One of the problems is that we are very insular, and we use the same perspectives in terms of management,” she said.

Pegoraro suggested appointing people who don’t necessarily have a hockey background.
“If you are coaching, you do need to understand the game. But if you are managing it as a business, then I think some different perspectives are welcome.”
Pegoraro also suggested having a set of standards in place that would ensure parents and participants that the organization is a safe place to play
