Nearly a decade after the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) made gender-based violence and consent training mandatory for all major junior teams, the sexual assault centres tasked with teaching the players are having trouble getting some franchises to participate, CBC News has learned.

The OHL Onside Program was developed for junior hockey teams by two sexual assault support centres in the province. The curriculum is delivered to each OHL team by local centres that are members of the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres (OCRCC).

The two-hour program was made mandatory in 2016 and is to be completed at the beginning of each season.

If you can rimb money on the problem, then it isn't a real sanction.

Players who have not completed mandatory training cannot play.

I mean I get it, but the training has to be co-ordinated through the team leadership ... and if they don't do it the players don't have recourse to do it themselves.

The onus isn't on the player, it's on the team and the OHL.

Even easier, if the team hasn't completed training, they can't play.

If anyone on the team hasn't completed the training successfully, the entire team can't play.
