Skating on Thin Ice Professional Hockey, Rape Culture, and Violence against Women Walter S. DeKeseredy, Stu Cowan, Martin D. Schwartz, Heather Mallick and Jack Todd. Skating on Thin Ice exposes the culture of toxic masculinity in professional hockey and suggests how sport and society can change the narrative on sexual assault and violence. Why is it that professional sports, and notably hockey, remain a bastion for rape culture and violence against women? What are the conditions that allow a culture of toxic masculinity to persist despite awakenings elsewhere in society? What is the path forward, and how do we make officials, coaches, and athletes accountable?
