Former NHL player to testify at hearing focused on sex abuse following Penn State sca
WASHINGTON — A former National Hockey League player who rocked the Canadian sports world with sexual abuse accusations against a former coach is the marque witness at a congressional hearing Tuesday examining such abuse in the wake of the Penn State scandal.
The story of Sheldon Kennedy, whose NHL career began in 1989 with the Detroit Red Wings, was back in the news last week after his former coach in junior hockey pleaded guilty to sexual assaults involving two other former players, including NHL star Theoren Fleury. The coach, Graham James, already served more than three years in prison for abusing other players he coached, including Kennedy. James was quietly pardoned for his crimes in 2007, leading to public outcry.

I am a coach in minor hockey and the courses I needed to take were crazy.
Hockey Canada is so worried about this subject it is almost too hard to become a coach. I had to sit in a room with 25 other coaches and talk about what to do and what NOT to do. Then we watched a video that talked about Kennedy's abuse. Now Hockey Canada trains all there minor hockey coaches on all forms of abuse.
But people like James should sit in jail for life I have no place and no need for them.
I am a parent of 3 young kids (7,5,2) and you can't help but think what goes on at Hockey, Baseball, Dance Class, Swimming Lessons and everything else your child might be in. You hear about all this bad stuff on the news ALL THE TIME and all you can do is not let your guard down. I am involved with all of the sports my kids are involved in and I guess that is my way of keeping an eye out.

I went through the same thing for the trainer course. 8 hours total, 1/2 that time spent on abuse.
Heck, even when I was reffing 2 hours was devoted to how to tell if a kid is being abused. It was pretty ridiculous.

Unless I missed something major, I think you have that backwards.
