Hockey Canada CEO Scott Smith departed and the entire board of directors stepped down, the organization announced Tuesday, as it continues to grapple with the fallout from its handling of sexual assault allegations against players.
Those developments stem from the May revelation that Hockey Canada had settled a lawsuit with a woman who alleged she was sexually assaulted by eight players from the country’s 2018 world junior men’s hockey team that June.
Although the allegations have not been proved in court, Hockey Canada’s board chairs faced the latest round of questioning by Canadian Parliament last Tuesday, when former chair Michael Brind’Amour and interim chair Andrea Skinner were asked why Smith had not been fired. Skinner said: “Our board does not share the view that Hockey Canada should be making more leadership changes at this time. As a board, we continue to support the CEO and management.” SheHockey Canada sponsors in recent days have continued to reassess their relationship with the organization over its handling of the accusation and subsequent revelations about its practices.
