Independent Safe Sport Complaint Process

Ontario Minor Hockey and Hockey Canada stand for safe sport that is free of maltreatment of any kind. We all play a role in creating a healthy culture that fosters safe sport practice and offers athletes, coaches and all members of the sport community strong resources in education and reporting. The presence of maltreatment in sport requires a concerted and systemic effort by a variety of different organizations and governments to come together and identify solutions and clearly define roles and responsibilities.

Ontario Minor Hockey and Hockey Canada’s response to all allegations of maltreatment is through Hockey Canada’s Independent Third Party (ITP) complaint mechanism. We encourage all individuals experiencing or witnessing maltreatment (including advocates for other people) to communicate with the ITP. 

For more information on the ITP, including information for complaint submission, complainants, respondents, as well as policies and processes; please visit Independent Safe Sport Complaint Submission link

All Code of Conduct complaints must be submitted through the Hockey Canada Safe Sport/Independent Third Party (IPT) Complaint process at the link above. 

Please be reminded that Hockey Canada Playing Rules govern gameplay including pre and post-game. Concerns arising from gameplay should be addressed through the Local Minor Hockey Association and/or League.
