Hockey Canada interim board chair Andrea Skinner submits resignation, Radio-Canada reports | CBC News
·Andrea Skinner, interim board chair of Hockey Canada, has submitted her resignation, according to a copy of an email obtained by CBC News.Skinner was defiant in her defence of Hockey Canada's handling of group sexual assault allegations involving past junior hockey players when she appeared before the House of Commons heritage committee on Tuesday.
The hockey organization has been under intense public scrutiny since May, when it settled a $3.5-million lawsuit by a woman who alleged that eight hockey players — including members of the 2018 world junior team — sexually assaulted her at a hotel in London, Ont., while she was heavily intoxicated. Skinner told the heritage committee that toxic behaviour is a society-wide issue and it's "counterproductive" to use Hockey Canada as a "scapegoat."
