@LALegault Great, or “great?”
When the team signs one of the poster boys for “hockey as place where men get to be sexually abusive without consequences,” they’re hosting this event? Looks very cynical to me. -
Indeed. Not so long ago Stu Cowan, with a couple of sports sociologists, wrote “Skating on Thin Ice.” The book was occasioned by the Habs signing a young man who been convicted of sexual misconduct. It describes a situation wherein sexual misconduct is “normal” in Canada’s hockey system. From boys to adult men. Hockey is a place where sexual misconduct is groomed.
Not a safe place for our sisters, daughters, granddaughters, or women friends to be hanging out. This is a men’s health issue.
WTF are coaches and parents thinking, creating and condoning this?

@colinburgess As for how many signatories are from Oilerville? No idea. This signing was the last straw for this now-former-Oilers-fan.
ps. I can only wonder what it’s like to be married to GM Stan, or Capt. McDrai, the men who are welcoming a gang sex participant into the team locker room?
🏒🥅🇨🇦 #sexualassault #Oilers #nhl #hockey #hnom #yeg #edmonton #mcdavid @hnom

🏒🥅 It sure looks that way.
My respect for team’s leadership diminished as I watched McDrai stop listening to coach, stop playing 200-ft hockey, and w they blamed goalies and coaches for poor season. Add the McD “hire” of a reputed bully as new coach, the signing of a sexual predator, and Drai lauding the bully-coach as a “man.”
WTF is this telling the boys and girls who love hockey?I returned to hockey fandom after 40+ years
because it was exciting to watch McDrai.In the coming days I’ll do a ritual purging of Oilers jerseys etc. I’m sad about this. But, I can’t support this team anymore.
I feel for the people of Oilerville who’ve been let down by these leadership fails. But I’m moving on. This season, and henceforth, I’ll be rooting for the Habs. They appear to be building something with good team culture. Habs Cup before an Oilers Cup? We shall see.

The HuGo rebuild, in hockey’s sacred city, is a marvellous thing to behold. Young. Talented. Fast. Exciting!

🏒🥅 52,000 Oilers fans are not happy with GM Stan Bowman and Capt. Connor McDavid welcoming an acquitted gang sex participant into the team’s dressing room. Go figure.
Some of us have had enough of “boys will be boys.” It’s time for leadership on this chronic men’s health issue in Canadian hockey. It’s time for real leadership and accountability, men.
Had enough? Sign here…

RE: https://newsie.social/@LALegault/117242937621103522
This is pretty over-the-top. Except it isn’t.
Pretty sure McD didn’t say this, but his (in)action as Capt on the Formenton signing says as much.
This is the Capt. who hired a coach with a history of abusive behaviour towards lesser players and staff, because: accountability.
This is the Capt. who is inviting a player onto the team and into the dressing room who the NHL deemed to have engaged in bad behaviour (read: gang sex, but technically not rape because acquitted). Who is holding this player accountable? À Capt. who won’t hold himself accountable but needs a bully to do it for him? Or the bully who has never been held accountable?
Ugh. Leadership fails from GM Stan, through coach, through Capt., through judicial system, through Hockey Canada, through to the young man, his coaches, teammates, family.

@TrueNorthSpice You’re welcome. But I’m just some guy on Vancouver Island who was an Oilers fan before decided to sign a guy who didn’t have a clue about how to treat a woman. (Given that he’s shown no signs of contrition or taking responsibility, he probably still doesn’t have a clue .) The real thanks goes to Mama Stanley and the women and men in Edmonton who are calling the Oilers out.
The cancer of misogyny at the heart of boy’s and men’s hockey in Canada should be deeply upsetting to us, as fans. Unfortunately, it’s still “boys will be boys.”
ps. I’ve tried reading Cowan’s “Skating on Thin Ice” twice. I stopped because I was sickened by what was saying about men’s hockey. I think it’s time to pick it up again and finish it. This is a men’s health issue. And Oilers just showed the cancer is still alive &well.

Sucks that this is going to be a lost season where neither progress towards playoffs or retooling will be made, but whatever. Gonna be an interesting season for all the wrong reasons.

🏒🥅🇨🇦 I believe the 5 “not legally rapists” are worthy of a 2nd chance —once they’ve taken the necessary steps to address & atone for behaviour that the NHL found unacceptable. I hope to see that happen. Making mistakes, & especially when it comes to women & sex, is pretty much a given for many of us men. Some of us learn to take responsibility.

my justified hater energy towards the USA men's team continues
https://dailydot.com/olympic-hockey-locker-room-call-trump-backlash
(yes I know Canadian men's hockey culture isn't better, I didn't start watching hockey yesterday lmao)
There is also a weird belittling, and somewhat misogynist, attitude I am seeing in response to to this (especially with reference to Heated Rivalry fans) that goes like "oh those poor women who are fans of men's hockey, they don't know how toxic hockey culture is. they are living in fantasyland."
Women hockey fans understand very well how toxic the culture is; we enjoy a beautiful sport despite the men playing it. I think a lot of men don't understand the amount of relating to men, and participation in cultural things oriented towards and created by men, that most women have to do basically from the time that we are children (and I started watching hockey as a kid). For a long time, if we want to watch hockey it had to be men's hockey. If we want to watch a movie, it had to be a movie with a man protagonist. We related despite all of that, because the work was still amazing.
I think this is also missing the reason why women like Heated Rivalry (which I actually still haven't watched despite about 20 different people telling me to watch it at this point). It's pretty obvious for anyone who is familiar with BL works, but maybe not familiar to most hockey people. It's people who like men and who like hockey, but who know how badly men behave in the real world, especially towards women, and choosing to imagine something better. A story where complex characters playing an amazing game enter into a relationship as equals. The "as equals" part is important; this is a big aspect of BL's appeal over most het stories, for straight women. Unfortunately it is easier to write 2 men as full people in a full and equal relationship than it is to write a woman and a man in one.
It's appealing precisely because we all know how far away it is from the real world.

@hnom And no Kevin Bieksa, this isn’t “what you get when you stop fighting” in the NHL. Because fighting in the NHL hasn’t stopped. I see a fight in a lot of games.
This is what we get when a fast, dynamic, and aggressive sport isn’t properly officiated.
Players do fight. That isn’t the issue. The issue is “game management” rather than rules-based officiating.#sens #canucks #habs #nhlflames #nhljets #oilers #nhl #hnom @hnom
