Hugh Fraser was named chair of Hockey Canada’s new board of directors on Dec. 17, 2022. After one month on the job, he spoke with scottcwheeler on the path ahead for the organization including a search for a new CEO.
The following interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.Yesterday was exactly a month since you were named chair of the board. I’m sure it has been busy. What have you learned about Hockey Canada in the last 30 or so days?Well, I’ve learned that it’s a very complex organization. I’ve spent even more time than anticipated at it. But I’ve been briefed on every area. The various committees. Met a lot of the staff — not all of them by any means. It has been busy.
I realized coming into it that it was a big undertaking. But I also came into it with a sense of optimism that when people have the will and the determination to make these changes, I see no reason why it can’t happen. It’s unfortunate that it took a crisis to get to this point but that’s where we are now and we have every reason to believe that the changes that are needed will be made within the period of our mandate.
But we’re having an important person-to-person meeting with our members in a few weeks’ time in the first week of February. That will give us an opportunity to share ideas and to engage in a dialogue so that we can come away from that with further direction as to where we go with some of our governance changes.With regards to the highest level, I know you were in Halifax at the world juniors.
I said that we expect that everyone taking part be held to a higher standard and that we want to set the bar higher than just the base. We want to set an example for others. I said I don’t think that’s an unfair burden or expectation but it comes with the territory and that’s what we’re going to be asking.: You mentioned a screening process for the players.
Exactly. I think that’s the best way to answer it. When that point comes, we’ll be as transparent as we can.I’ve tasked one of our board members with chairing the committee who will deal with that, and he’s adding members to that. Once they’ve completed that task, their next priority will be to work on the job profile.
