ALT Text reads "The Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton’s (SACE) first thought upon hearing that Stan Bowman was hired by the Edmonton Oilers was how this might feel for Kyle Beach, John Doe 2, and survivors of sexual violence in our community. Our hearts go out to anyone who has been impacted by this news. If you need someone to talk to, you can reach out to the SACE Support and Information Line at 780.423.4121. SACE appreciates that Stan has acknowledged the harm he caused when he chose to ignore what happened to Kyle and that he has been engaged in accountability work over the past two years. However, the most important thing going forward is that Stan, and the entire Oilers organization, will continue to learn from this and that they will demonstrate to our community that they will do better.

ALT Text reads "Sexual violence is a pervasive and systemic societal problem, and the reason that it continues to exist is that it is shrouded in silence, shame, and blame. It is often ignored, dismissed or trivialized, and major organizations have a significant role to play in changing this narrative. The actions of the Oilers speak much louder than their words and we, along with their thousands of fans, will be watching very closely. SACE has over a one-year waiting list for counselling. Perhaps the Oilers could consider donating some of their profits from the amazing playoff run to support our organization and the survivors we work with every day."
