Hockey Canada calls news conference amid reports that CEO Nicholson to step down

TORONTO – Hockey Canada has called a news conference for Friday in Toronto amid reports that president and chief executive officer Bob Nicholson is planning to step down.

Nicholson held the positions for over 15 years.

Under Nicholson’s watch, Canada has won seven Olympic gold medals, 12 world junior titles, five men’s world championships and 10 women’s world championships.

A Hockey Canada spokesman could not comment on the reports of his departure, and would only confirm that a news conference has been scheduled.
