Katherine Henderson Named President and CEO of Hockey Canada

Hockey Canada has selected Katherine Henderson, former head of Curling Canada, as its new President and Chief Executive Officer. This decision comes as Hockey Canada seeks to rebuild its reputation following a series of scandals that shook the organization last year.

The move is seen as a step towards transforming and revitalizing Hockey Canada after facing criticism for its handling of sexual assault allegations and settlement payouts. The organization was under scrutiny for its governance and culture, prompting a resignation of its board of directors and changes in leadership.

Katherine Henderson's appointment is expected to contribute to the ongoing efforts to make hockey a safer and more inclusive sport. Henderson's experience and track record are viewed as assets to guide Hockey Canada in this transformation.

Henderson expressed her enthusiasm for the role, highlighting the importance of hockey in Canadian culture and expressing her commitment to working with various stakeholders to provide a positive and personalized hockey experience for all Canadians.
