How do we fix hockey culture without burning it down?

In today’s Big Story podcast, the allegations in a recent lawsuit are horrifying to read. Teenagers allegedly being bullied and abused by older teammates as coaches watched and did nothing. These aren’t the first stories to come from Canadian junior hockey players and they likely won’t be the last.

The initial reaction from those without a stake in the game, including our host, is to burn the whole system down. Is that the only way to fix it? What needs to change for the game we love to be safe for the kids who play it? Who’s standing in the way of that? And what does real change look like inside locker rooms everywhere?

GUEST: Brock McGillis, former OHL and pro player, LGBTQ+ speaker and advocate
