This Is Bigger Than Hockey: Sexual Assault, Power, and the Truth We Can’t Ignore

Dela

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains sensitive content including discussions of sexual assault, power imbalance, and institutional silence.

Hockey culture is at a crossroads—and today, I’m no longer staying quiet.

In this raw and deeply personal solo episode, I speak candidly about the ongoing Hockey Canada sexual assault trial, the shame survivors carry, the text messages and recording being used against EM, and what it’s like to be a woman in a world that protects silence over safety.

As a survivor.
 As a mom.
 As someone who sat in a room with Hockey Canada to pitch a mental wellness program...
 I’m asking: What was I doing bringing something so sacred into a system that set aside money to silence victims?

This episode breaks down:

  • Why consent isn’t just about “yes” or “no”—it’s about power, fear, and survival
  • What no one tells you about the nervous system in the middle of trauma
  • The damage of Hockey Canada’s National Equity Fund payouts
  • What this trial says to every girl who loves this game
  • And the question every parent must ask: What if this was your daughter?

This isn’t about canceling hockey. It’s about finally protecting everyone in it.

If you’ve ever felt scared, ashamed, or silenced—this one’s for you.
