Hello, again.
Another day, another disappointing story about these five. Hockey Canada concluded its investigation yesterday and handed out a suspension to Dillon Dube until 2028, meaning he will not be able to play/coach/participate on any Canadian national team or any team associated with Hockey Canada. Unfortunately, the NHL is the only major sport that does not have a Domestic Violence or Sexual Assault policy for it's players, which would adopt this same suspension. And the additional information coming from the Hockey Canada investigation, some of which was excluded at trial, shows even more vile behavior by these men, including deleting evidence of additional videos they deemed the "bad videos".
We have reached out to many sports reporters and radio personalities in St. Louis. No one here wants to report on this, meaning not as many people know about it.
We do not want this man wearing the iconic St. Louis Blues sweater and representing our community. We do not want him in our community full stop.
As you may know, the Go Fund Me to raise money for a billboard with his picture and a message near Enterprise Center is going well. But we haven’t yet reached our goal. We want to be able to have this billboard up for two months as we head into training camp and pre season games. This visibility will keep the issue in front of fans, Blues management and corporate sponsors. If everyone who signed the petition would donate as little as $1 we could reach our goal.
If you would like to donate in other ways or volunteer for future protests, please email us at HockeyFansAgainstAssault@gmail.com.
Thanks to all of you who signed the petition and have already donated to the billboard. This work is so important. We cannot change hockey culture all at once, but we can do our part to see that the filthy five continue to experience the consequences of their actions.
