Graham James, former junior hockey coach. He surrendered himself into police custody at Toronto’s Pearson International airport Wednesday Oct. 27, 2010. Then son after he was flown to Winnipeg where he faces nine charges of sexual assault. Investigators had issued a warrant for his arrest more than two weeks before he turned him self in. James is a convicted sex offered who was quilty given a pardon in 2007. That sparked a public outcry and quick response from the Federal Government, which has proposed changes to how pardons are granted. This case took a big step forward when former NHL Theoren Fleury, accused James of sexual assault in his autobiography. 
I don’t think that people like this should ever be allowed to coach hockey or any other kids sports were they get time with the kids behind closed doors like in a dressing room, or any other type of setting were yours kids are getting changed for their upcoming game or event. The people who are hiring these coaches should do a much better job in a background check and see if they have any know chargers of sexual assault or criminal charges or any abusive chargers.
