An unexpected twist in the latest case of a minor hockey volunteer charged with a sexual offence against a young player: The former coach is female and the victim, a 14-year-old girl.
The Fairbanks, Alaska, Daily News-Miner has the story.
There have been cases like this before - the worst being Canada's Graham James whose victims included future NHLers Theo Fleury and Sheldon Kennedy - but this is the first I remember reading involving girls' hockey, a female coach and female victim.
Hopefully Alaska minor hockey has a program like Speak Out - and take it seriously.
