The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that some major sponsors are reinstating their partnerships with Hockey Canada ahead of the high-profile world junior championship tournament. The Globe's Susan Krashinsky writes that the move comes more than a year after many brands suspended their support of the organization amid a sexual-assault scandal. Tim Hortons, Esso and Telus all said on Wednesday that their brands will have a presence during the world juniors, which are taking place in Gothenburg, Sweden, starting Dec. 26. The move by the three companies, which make up Hockey Canada's "premier marketing partners," its top tier of sponsorship, comes after sponsors were conspicuously absent from rink boards and other branding opportunities around last year's tournaments. All three were among the companies that announced in the summer of 2022 that they were pausing support for Hockey Canada's men's teams amid a backlash over how the organization handled allegations of sexual assault. Bauer Hockey also reinstated its partnership with Hockey Canada this past July. Bauer returned after the appointment of Katherine Henderson as its new chief executive officer. Last year, Parliament held hearings into the matter.
