B.C. Hockey Coach Charged with Sexual Offences Against Minors
Ronald Veit faces three historical sexual offence charges linked to incidents from 2008 to 2012 across multiple Metro Vancouver communities, police said.
- On Oct. 10, 2025, New Westminster Police Department charged 58-year-old Ronald Veit of Surrey with sexual interference, exploitation and assault stemming from historical Metro Vancouver allegations.
- Veit was recently the Coquitlam Express goalie coach, and the team immediately terminated his employment, saying the charges are not related to his time with the organization.
- Under the court order, he must not communicate with anyone under the age of 18 unless a parent or guardian is present, and he is allowed a skating rinks exception for coaching with other adults.
- The case highlights limits of background checks as investigators say the charges were new and not detectable through a Criminal Record Check required of staff.
- Alleged offences occurred between September 2008 and May 2012 across Langley, Surrey, New Westminster, Coquitlam and Burnaby in Metro Vancouver.
