One Hockey Canada Executive Steps Down, Others Likely to Follow
TSN's Rick Westhead reported today that Michael Brind'Amour is stepping down from his role as Executive Board chair for Hockey Canada. The organization will hold meetings over the next week or so to determine his replacement.
Brind'Amour released the following statement upon stepping down:
"I have listened carefully and intently to the comments of Canadians about the culture of our sport and our organization, and about our actions and leadership. I understand that the actions we have taken in recent weeks are part of the solution. My final term ends in November 2022, and I know that there is no need to wait for a new era. Immediate action is essential to address the important challenges facing our organization and our sport, which our Action Plan works to accomplish. I would not be able to see this renewal through and have therefore announced my resignation to the Board of Directors.
I am reassured that The Honourable Thomas Cromwell, C.C, has agreed to lead a governance review of our organization that will help us make the changes that are needed. I am confident the recommendations will guide the organization into a future of desired change.
I wish the best of success to those who will succeed me."

Brind'Amour is the first Hockey Canada executive to voluntarily step down from his post, but he likely won't be the last to do so, voluntarily or otherwise. With such a large-scale inquisition into the organization and the ferocity with which the Canadian government is approaching the situation, it is only a matter of time before more Hockey Canada executives either step down or are forced out.
Parents, players, and provincial hockey federations are very upset over the usage of player registration fees to settle sexual assault claims. A fact which might be the nail in the coffin for many on Hockey Canada's executive board. Stay tuned for the latest.
