Hockey Canada's provincial and territorial members have elected a new board of directors following a vote at the national sport organization's annual winter meeting.
The embattled national sport organization's members elected a slate of candidates to fill nine vacant board seats Saturday.
Three days after interim chair Andrea Skinner stepped down in October, Hockey Canada's previous board also quit -- under-fire president and CEO Scott Smith left at the same time -- amid blistering criticism related to the scandal-plagued organization's handling of sexual assault allegations and hushed payouts to victims.
The ugly headlines included the revelation that Hockey Canada's little-known National Equity Fund -- maintained by fees collected from players across the country -- had been used to pay for uninsured liabilities, including sexual abuse claims. Liberal MP and heritage committee member Anthony Housefather said in a statement the new board represents "a diverse group of very qualified people.""To say that Hockey Canada has been through a tumultuous time is an understatement," Conservative MP and heritage committee member Rachael Thomas said in a separate statement.
"Cassie is not to be held responsible for her husband's prior employment," Fraser said. "She's carved her own career and will be a very, very valued contributor to help us with our understanding of some of the challenges in the game."A corporate lawyer from Calgary, Borbridge served on the board of the Girls Hockey Calgary Association and the Glenlake Minor Hockey Club.
