At the end of each year, Hockey Canada will make public the list of complaints made against the players and organization just to ensure that everything is transparent and that the organization is held accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hockey Canada says it is currently working on <strong>key performance indicators<\/strong> (KPIs) that will highlight all the complaints made at sub-national and national levels. These KPIs will be released annually in a social responsibility report that gives the general public a clear idea of what is happening behind the scenes. <strong>The new proposal will also track player behaviour outside the rink and hold them responsible for their actions off the rink.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The senior women\u2019s national <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/hockey\">hockey<\/a> team welcomed the response and initiative from Hockey Canada but said the organization needed to do more to ensure that such behaviour will never be repeated. The women stated that while they were encouraged with the response this week from Hockey Canada, it was only one small step in the right direction.
