WHL Fines Giants For Scout’s Comments to Female Reporter

Calgary, Alta. – The Western Hockey League announced Saturday the Vancouver Giants have been fined $5,000 for conduct detrimental to the League.

The disciplinary action is in response to inappropriate remarks made by a member of the Vancouver Giants staff during the broadcast of the 2026 WHL Prospects Draft Show on Wednesday, May 6.

“Accountability is a cornerstone value of our League – that includes both players and staff.  In this instance, regardless of intent, the remarks are not reflective of the organization’s standards of respect and inclusion,” commented WHL Commissioner, Dan Near.

The WHL remains committed to holding players and staff to the highest standards of conduct both on and off the ice.
