What started as a difficult season for the Vancouver Canucks on the ice might also shape up to be a difficult season for the team off the ice.
In September 2022, the Canucks parted ways with analyst and assistant to the video coach, Rachel Doerrie. The firing was shrouded in speculation, which was only further exacerbated when Doerrie hired Vancouver-based labour lawyer Peter Gall in October.
Now, following documents shared by Doerrie on Twitter on Sunday, the reason for Doerrie seeking legal representation has become clear. Doerrie has filed a human rights complaint alleging discrimination from Canucks assistant general manager Emilie Castonguay.
