No Canadians have been elected to the International Ice Hockey Federation’s council, a surprising result for a nation considered one of the sport’s powerhouses.
Hockey Canada president and chief executive officer Katherine Henderson was up for one of the minimum three female spots on council at Friday’s election at the IIHF’s semi-annual congress in Tenerife, Spain.
Henderson was eliminated in the second of three rounds of voting. Hungary’s Zsuzsanna Kolbenheyer, Turkiye’s Merve Tunali and Poland’s Marta Zawadzka won the council seats.
Canada is not being invited to a lot of parties of late.
