I will not allow myself to search for you in every man I find attractive. Instead, I will search for a man who is better than you; who I know will love and treat me better.

But honestly, I am just tired. I wake up every morning exhausted, staring at the ceiling, searching for a reason to get up. And there isn’t one. I just lie there. I want to hide my face into the pillow and disappear, sometimes. It’d be better than this routine I do - the one where I pretend to live some sort of life.

We Need To Talk About Patrick Kane

My sister and I grew up in Brampton. She was born in 1993, went to Mayfield, was pretty, popular, athletic. It shouldn’t be any surprise then that she entered Tyler Seguin’s orbit fairly often. They didn’t go to the same school but they went to the same parties, knew the same people. My sister and Seguin were never close, but she and her friends liked partying with him. He was polite, he always said hi to your parents, and if he said he’d give you a lift home, that was all that would happen. The word around town, the word that travelled through the labyrinthine backchannels of Suburban Girl World, was that girls didn’t want to party with Tyler Seguin because he was good-looking or good at hockey - girls wanted to party with Tyler Seguin because he wasn’t like those other hockey boys.

You know the kind I mean. You can see them now if you close your eyes, broad chests and bulky arms, too tall for their desks, too wide for the hallways. They never keep their voices down and no one ever tells them to. They smell like Axe and sweat and a gym locker that’s been closed for too long. One pushed me out of the way with both hands in geography class once. “You’re just a bitch,” he said. “That’s all you are.”

We need to talk about Those Hockey Boys. I know it’s hard. Canadian women carry the memories of Hockey Boys as lumps in our throats, as stones in our guts. We want to believe that the ones who make it to the NHL are The Good Ones, the ones who didn’t terrorize us in the cafeteria, the ones who hadn’t figured out how to weaponize sexual menace by the age of fifteen. But Those Hockey Boys grow up. And some of them make it. And some of them become Patrick Kane.

As far as I know, the sexual assault rumours about Patrick Kane began in 2012. I don’t know if teenage girls in Buffalo shared backchannel stories about him in high school the way London girls shared stories about Drew Doughty. But in May of 2012, stories emerged in the Deadspin comments section claiming that somewhere over the course of a weekend-long bender, Patrick Kane had tried to choke a young woman who had resisted his sexual advances.

“Kaner was pulling down girls sun glasses (sic) and then going ‘ehhh, not good enough,’ ” one commenter alleged. “[He} was just ‘pulling random girls to him’ and making out with them,” said another. And then: “Later, he relentlessly began hitting on a girl who wanted nothing to do with him—his response to this denial [was an] attempt to choke her.”

The allegations, as they were, went nowhere. No charges were ever filed and in the eyes of sportswriters and Blackhawks fans, that was enough to exonerate Kane. Even purported witnesses to the sexual assault were dismissive: “In general,” one commenter said, “besides the choking, he didn’t seem like a terrible guy.” The rumours were, as they so often are, relegated to backchannels. “You know about Patrick Kane, right?” women asked each other on Twitter and Tumblr. “Did you read those comments on Deadspin?

Three years later, Kane stands accused not only of rape, but of tampering with the evidence of said rape. Sportswriters seem caught off guard, Blackhawks fans defensive, but for those of us listening to the backchannels, it feels like an inevitable conclusion. When backchannel rumours are your only line of defence against Those Hockey Boys, you learn to trust them.

We need to talk about Patrick Kane. We need to talk about this culture we’ve created where multiple eyewitness accounts of a sexual assault are still not enough to make us believe the victim. We need to talk not just about the rumours making the rounds on the backchannels, but the fact that the backchannels need to exist at all. And we need to talk about Those Hockey Boys, the entitlement we’re enkindling, the violence we’re normalizing. We need to talk about the fact that women learn to be afraid of Hockey Boys when we’re in our teens. We need to talk about the fact that one of the best players in a generation was accused of rape and no one was surprised.

I’m not going to stop talking about Patrick Kane.

I hope you won’t either.
