NCAA got it right with Penn State and blind Joe Paterno. It's a lesson for everyone involved in sports, from the highest levels of college like Penn State to local minor hockey associations.

Minor hockey fraud and sexual assault charges
It's sad when people get into such a pickle they turn to crime - like the Petrolia Minor Hockey treasurer who scooped funds from minor hockey to support her family. She took $75,000, but should be commended for an effort to right her wrong as reported here.
I thought fraud of minor sports organizations began and ended with a few hundred thousand dollars stolen by our own West London Minor Hockey Association treasurer at the turn of the century to support a gambling habit. Sadly, he committed suicide when caught.
But every season it seems there's another case which comes to light. Checks and balances, folks. When it comes to families' and sponsors' money, no one gets exclusive trust.
Speaking of things that can go wrong in minor hockey, there's a new charge in an old sexual assault in Mississauga where an Applewood minor hockey coach from the 1980s is charged with assaulting boys who were about 10 at the time. The assaults allegedly took place in the 1980s - decades before the Speak Out program and two-in-the-room rule.
