IIHF president hopeful about Hockey Canada’s future with new board despite ‘damage’
After meeting with its new board of directors — a diverse group that better reflects the country’s makeup — the president of the International Ice Hockey Federation believes the future is bright at the badly damaged organization.
That came before the release of an independent governance review that made a number of recommendations related to leadership, transparency and how the NEF — maintained by registration fees and used to pay uninsured liabilities, including sexual assault and abuse claims — and two other funds should be managed.
Tardif added that moving the 2023 world juniors out of Russia — due to the war in Ukraine — to Halifax and Moncton, N.B., instead of larger Canadian markets that have given the event a lukewarm reception in recent years was the correct call. “It give us two years to prepare properly this competition,” he said. “I’m optimistic, but everybody has to do an effort to be there.
