Is it just me or are we reading too often about money missing or allegedly missing from youth sports organizations?
West London Optimists Minor Hockey Association, where my son played, lost maybe $200,000 to a longtime volunteer treasurer with a gambling addiction who, sadly, committed suicide when the crime was discovered.
High school athletics in the London area lost $800,000 to its former director, who spent it on his home and, apparently, lottery tickets.
The latest questions raised come from the girls' hockey organization in Woodstock, where $45,000 is missing and the treasurer has resigned, according to this story.
What goes wrong? Is it sloppy systems or a warped sense of volunteer entitlement or just plain criminal minds?
