Andrea Skinner, director and interim chair of Hockey Canada, has resigned from her post effective immediately, the organization announced Saturday.
The interim chair of the board of Hockey Canada, Andrea Skinner, has resigned amid increasing backlash over its handling of alleged sexual assaults,“I joined the Hockey Canada Board of Directors in November 2020 as a volunteer. It was my strong commitment to making the game more safe, accessible, inclusive and welcoming,” Skinner said in a statement.
Hockey Canada has been under the national microscope since May when it was revealed it had settled a lawsuit with a woman who alleged she was sexually assaulted by eight players from the 2018 national junior men's hockey team during a June gala event in London, Ont., that year. Also, Halifax police were asked to investigate an alleged sexual assault by members of the 2003 national junior men's team.
