According to Rick Westhead of TSN, Hockey Canada is investigating an incident that involves a U-10 player and coach of the GTHL; take a look.
The video above shows a coach slashing the U-10 hockey player for seemingly not following instructions on positioning. This violates the Hockey Canada Safe Sport policy.
For everything that they've been, it's good that Hockey Canada is taking swift action in this instance.
As for the coach, he should never coach youth hockey ever again, these kinds of actions are reprehensible for an adult that is supposed to be a guide for a child's life of the sport.
