Hockey Canada has owned a condo across the street from the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs for the past 10 years and seven years, Postmedia’s John Kryk reported Tuesday night.

The report comes amid a scandal sparked by a settlement sparked by allegations of sexual assault involving eight junior hockey players after a gala in London, Ontario, in 2018. Comes with Hockey Canada.

Hockey Canada confirmed to Kryk that it owned the Maple Leaf Square condo across from Scotiabank Arena from 2010 to 2017 before selling the unit.

Hockey Canada said in a statement to Postmedia that it was purchased to “mitigate costs associated with moving staff and directors to Toronto, including for the 2015 and 2017 IIHF World Junior Championships.”

However, Hockey Canada did not announce that the World Juniors would be held in Toronto and Montreal until 2013, three years after the condo was purchased.

Hockey Canada told Postmedia it did not buy a condo in Montreal.

Karen Phibes, who served as vice chairman and director of Hawkey Canada from 2013 to 2015, told the Post Media that she knew nothing about the condos.

Bob Nicholson, now chairman of the Edmonton Oilers, was at the helm of Hockey Canada when the condo was purchased.

Hockey Canada has received many calls for leadership change, including from the federal government.

Scott Smith is currently President and CEO of Hockey Canada. He has played various roles with Hockey Canada since his 1997.

Smith handed out gold to Canada’s women’s team after beating the United States in the final of the World Championships in Denmark on Sunday.

The federal government froze funding to Hockey Canada in June. This fund accounts for his 6% of Hockey Canada’s budget.
