Seeing they cracked down on him, maybe there's hope for Canada yet
"Coach Greg Walsh pulled his Peterborough minor league hockey team off the ice after an opposing player hurled a racial slur at one of his teenaged team members and no one apologized.
Two weeks later, Walsh is watching his house league team from the stands while he serves an indefinite suspension from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA). Meanwhile, the player who used the taunt and his two coaches received three-day penalties and are playing again.
Because of a Hockey Canada rule on “refusing to start play,” Walsh could be barred from coaching for up to a year.

In any sport, there are rules of conduct. The fact that one team's coaches not only allowed this breech to happen, but did nothing about it in the way of sportsmanship says more about them than the coach that pulled his kids off the ice.
I suppose that Jon Ray is trying to say this is a freedom of speech issue but it isn't. When you sign up to play a sport, you agree to the sport's rules and regulations. If you don't want to agree to them, or can't abide by them, don't play.
That coach needs to resign and leave for being such a numbskull
