Analyzing the Hockey Canada trial [2]

[Part 2 of 5] The Hockey Canada verdicts are final, but the story isn’t. Kristi Lee looks closely at the most talked-about evidence, how it was reflected in the written decision, and how that shaped public opinion. Thanks for your patience!

In this episode:

The flaws in the first police investigation - and why it didn't result in charges
Michael McLeod's instagram exchange with EM the day after the hotel room incident
The "group chat" six days later that appears to show the hockey players trying to get their stories straight
The series of debacles that resulted in this jury trial switching to judge-alone
Survivors JB and Kelly Favro return to share their perspectives about watching this case unfold not only as survivors — but also as massive hockey fans.

*Additional content warning: Details of sexual acts.

PLEASE NOTE: This series does not dispute the judge’s verdicts. Instead, it highlights a deeper truth: contradictions and inconsistencies existed on both sides, yet the accused players’ accounts were overwhelmingly accepted while the victim-complainant's was dismissed as “not credible or reliable.” Regardless of verdicts, our position is that this framing was both unnecessary and harmful — and its impact reaches far beyond the trial itself.
