Courtney Szto, PhD

Dr. Courtney Szto quoted in “‘Horrifying’: Experts react to Hockey Canada’s 900-plus cases of on-ice discrimination” in The Hockey News, 2 December 2022.

Dr. Szto questioned the mechanisms to deal with allegations not witnessed by an official. “It is ultimately an imperfect system,” Szto added, although the “baseline data is really important because it legitimizes all of the anecdotal evidence that is often dismissed under the ‘few bad apples’ theory. These numbers show a pattern of problematic behaviors across the country in boys’ hockey.”
