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.

Each team who fails to complete the training before the season starts pays a manditory $500,000 fine.

That's how you insure compliance.

Nowhere near $500k. It would probably bankrupt the team.

So you can bet your last dollar they'd get that training done.
