The applicant alleged that Hockey Canada discriminated against him on the basis of age by charging a flat-rate insurance fee for minor hockey players, arguing that younger players subsidize older players who have a higher risk of injury.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing to determine if the application had a reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's proposed evidence would not establish that the flat-rate fee disadvantaged him because of his age, nor could he identify when younger players stop subsidizing older players.
The application was dismissed for having no reasonable prospect of success.
