HALIFAX - Hockey Nova Scotia says it has “lost confidence” in Hockey Canada’s leadership and is suspending the transfer of funds to the national organization. The provincial federation’s board of directors voted at an emergency meeting Thursday to keep a portion of registration fees normally transferred to Hockey Canada, which amounts to $3 per member, for the 2022-23 hockey season. In a statement, the board said it cannot support Hockey Canada until Hockey Nova Scotia’s values are reflected by the national body’s senior leadership. Also Thursday, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said he needs to see meaningful changes at Hockey Canada before the 2023 world junior hockey championship can proceed in his province. The withdrawal of numerous sponsors is a signal to Hockey Canada that its response so far has been inadequate.
