Hockey Canada’s provincial and territorial members will vote today on whether to approve a slate of nominees to fill the organization’s nine vacancies on its board of directors.
Hugh L. Fraser, a retired judge with nearly three decades of experience at the Ontario court of justice, is the nominee for board chair.
Former women’s national team captain Cassie Campbell-Pascall has been put forward to fill one of the other eight seats.
Hockey Canada’s previous board stepped down in October amid blistering criticism related to the scandal-plagued federation’s past handling of sexual assault allegations and hushed payouts to victims.
The other board members on the slate are Grant Borbridge, Julie Duranceau, Dave Evans, Marni Fullerton, Jonathan F. Goldbloom, Marian Jacko and Andrea Poole.
Today’s virtual vote is to approve the entire slate of nominees, rather than candidates on an individual basis.
