Insurance companies are threatening to withhold coverage from Hockey Canada and the Canadian Hockey League and its three major junior leagues and teams as they battle a high-stakes hazing, bullying, and abuse lawsuit, court documents say.

Hockey Canada filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court in Milton, Ont., on June 9 alleging AIG Insurance Company of Canada and TIG Insurance Company have indicated they may not honour their policy obligations in connection with the lawsuit.

Spokespeople for Lloyd’s, TIG and Allianz did not respond to requests for comment. An AIG spokesperson declined to comment. Hockey Canada’s allegations have not been proven and the insurance companies have not filed statements of defence. The lawsuit says the coverage is to be offered if claims are made during the policy period, and if the claimant has not lodged a complaint or started a lawsuit related to the alleged abuse before the “retroactive date” of Dec. 31, 1998. If abuse is alleged to have occurred prior to that date, it would not preclude coverage.
