Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) Disclosure: Maltreatment Data
At the OHF we strive to be transparent and accountable to our players, coaches, volunteers and communities we serve. With this in mind and in compliance with Hockey Canada's Playing Rule 11.4, which tracks and compiles data as it relates to maltreatment cases, the OHF and its seven Members are now reporting 2022-2023 season data (June 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023).
It is important to note that Hockey Canada’s Playing Rule 11.4 was only implemented last year, so the information shared below is a summary from the first year of the Rules implementation. The goal with a year over year view of cases is to be able to identify, measure, reduce and eliminate maltreatment of all kinds in hockey, as well as understand where complaints are coming from to improve our processes and regulations.
