Wanda Malone, a local high school teacher, allegedly took nearly $60,000 from an Ottawa Valley hockey association, according to court documents. While police didn't name the hockey association directly, court documents obtained by CBC News show Malone allegedly defrauded the Barry's Bay and Area Minor Hockey Association of more than $58,000 between June 2020 and April 2022. Malone's LinkedIn profile describes her as a teacher, rugby referee and coach, and longtime employee of the Ottawa Catholic School Board. A leaked email sent to CBC News shows Malone apologized to the Eastern Ontario Rugby Union for taking $12,000 from its accounts. "Please know that my actions were in no way malicious," Malone wrote in her resignation to the union back in March.
