Report: Hockey Canada approached sponsors about removing top executives and board members
Hockey Canada appears to be working towards retaining its reputation – and sponsorship money – with this offer, but some of the sponsors believe that it isn’t enough.
“Some [sponsors] said the departures on offer would not be sufficient, and that wholesale change to Hockey Canada’s operations is needed,” said Susan Krashinsky Robertson ofHockey Canada has found itself engulfed in controversy after it was alleged that members of both the 2003 and 2018 Canadian World Junior teams were involved in acts of sexual assault. The organization as a whole has been under fire for failing to properly investigate the accusations.
Calls have been made for Hockey Canada CEO Scott Smith and other top executives to step down, but that has not happened. The biggest change was the resigning of Michael Brind’Amour, a member of the Board of Directors, and the appointment of Andrea Skinner in his place.
