HC Communications
March 12, 2020
CALGARY, Alta. – The following is a statement on behalf of Hockey Canada from
Tom Renney, chief executive officer, and Scott Smith, president and chief
operating officer, on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“Without question, this is an unprecedented period of difficulty for the sports
world. The health and safety of all participants in sport, including players,
coaches, staff, officials, fans, family, volunteers and the general public, is
of the utmost importance to Hockey Canada.
After much consultation with the Hockey Canada membership, our chief medical
officer and public health officials, the Hockey Canada Board of Directors has
made the decision to cancel all Hockey Canada-sanctioned activities, including
our national championships, until further notice, effective Friday, March 13,
2020.
We recognize the tremendous effort that has been put forth all year by
individuals across the country as they participate in Canada’s game. Although it
is difficult to process the hockey season ending abruptly, we feel this is the
best course of action in order to do our part in keeping our country safe.”
