Dennis Williams, of Ontario, is the Head Coach and GM of the WHL's Everett Silvertips. He also served as Assistant Coach (2022) and Head Coach (2023) of Canada's World Junior Hockey team. A report from
TSN this weekend stated Williams was under investigation by the US Center for SafeSport following allegations by an unnamed complainant. The complainant said several players were concerned with Williams for using the players' showers and coming out only wearing a towel on multiple occasions. It also alleged that Williams "walked into the bathroom while [a] player was losing consciousness following VO2 max testing. Dennis took a photo of the player on his phone while the player was on the bathroom floor and walked out, leaving the player unconscious on the bathroom floor. The player was 17 at the time." Today, the WHL said the investigation has concluded and no evidence of wrongdoing has been found.
