Hockey Canada has confirmed that Andrea Skinner, interim chair of the organization's board of directors, has submitted her resignation.
Skinner joined the Hockey Canada Board of Directors in November 2020 as a volunteer, and assumed the role of chair in August after the resignation of former chair Michael Brind'Amour.
"I stepped into the position of Interim Chair of the Board two months ago for the same reason. Upon reflection, it is clear to me from recent events that it no longer makes sense for me to continue to volunteer my time as Interim Chair or as a Director of the organization." Skinner vigorously defended the national governing body's executives earlier this week when she appeared via video before members of Parliament alongside former Brind'Amour in a Canadian Heritage standing committee meeting in Ottawa.
"Our board frankly does not share the view that senior leadership should be replaced on the basis of what we consider to be substantial misinformation and an unduly cynical attacks," Skinner had said.
