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.

Here’s an idea. Remove Cami Kepke, who is one of many women in the field with a cookie cutter look, from these assignments. Her work with the league is substandard, but she uses her look to her advantage. Her behind the bench interviews are like many others boring and not needed. Perhaps she should leave the boys and work with the girls in the PWHL.
I am guessing she was offended by this so the league had no choice even though they are likely rolling their eyes.
What an embarrassing moment for the WHL!
