Violée à 15 ans par son entraîneur, la patineuse brise l'omerta. " Vous étiez mon entraîneur. Je venais d'avoir quinze ans. Et vous m'avez violée. Il aura fallu trente ans pour que ma colère cachée se transforme enfin en cri public. Vous avez détruit ma vie, monsieur O., pendant que vous meniez tranquillement la vôtre.

Quand j'ai voulu parler, à plusieurs reprises, je n'ai pas pu le faire.

Hockey culture: it’s a commonly used phrase inside the game, glorifying sacrifice, toughness, loyalty, and a sense of identity.

After all, he’d won a Memorial Cup after leading the tournament in scoring, and he’d been drafted by the Washington Capitals. “In my mind,” he says, “I was the normal one.” Unfortunately, after stepping outside the game, he began to recognize the racism, sexual abuse and bullying that was so deeply ingrained in the sport.

Per quello che fece in campo la sentenza è già stata emessa dal tribunale degli dèi, il solo competente: fu il più grande di tutti, capace di entrare perfino nel cuore di chi voleva e doveva odiarlo. Ben più severo il verdetto dei mortali, mai propensi a valutare con il giusto distacco le contraddizioni di un uomo che, prima di ogni altra cosa, è stato uno straordinario moltiplicatore di sogni ed esistenze, tanto che chi ha voluto raccontarne i fantasmi presto o tardi ha dovuto fare i conti con i propri.
