Hockey Canada announced Tuesday that CEO Scott Smith has departed and the entire board of directors agreed to step down.
The board will name an interim management committee before a new slate of directors is chosen by mid-December.
Hockey Canada has been under intense scrutiny for months over a sexual assault lawsuit settled in May. In the lawsuit, a woman said eight unnamed CHL players, including members of Canada's 2018 world junior team, sexually assaulted her in June of that year.
