Maltreatment Data

The OHF’s priority and focus is to provide a safe, fun, accessible and progressive place for everyone who loves hockey to enjoy. Any form of disrespectful behaviour is not tolerated. We are committed to appropriate investigation of all complaints and encourage those who see or experience something in conflict with our code of conduct to speak up and report it. 

With this in mind and in compliance with Hockey Canada's Playing Rule 11.4, which tracks and compiles data as it relates to maltreatment cases, the OHF and its Members are now reporting 2022-2024 data (June 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024).

Hockey Canada’s Playing Rule 11.4 was implemented in 2022. The goal with a year over year view of cases is to be able to identify, measure, reduce and eliminate maltreatment of all kinds in hockey, as well as understand where complaints are coming from to improve our processes and regulations.
