Hockey Canada (HC) is the national governing body for hockey in Canada, dedicated to fostering the growth and development of the sport from grassroots to high performance. Hockey Canada believes in positive hockey experiences for all participants, in a safe and healthy sporting environment and in the development of life skills which will benefit participants throughout their lives.

We are currently seeking candidates to fill three (3) open positions on the Hockey Canada Board of Directors. We invite dedicated and visionary individuals to apply and contribute to shaping the future of hockey in Canada.

The HC Nominating Committee (NC) will lead the nomination process. The NC is committed to recruiting individuals who collectively possess a wide range of skills and experiences required by the organization. The NC will undertake a thorough and rigorous process to complete these tasks prior to the elections, including screening and vetting potential candidates.

The NC calls upon its Members, the public and those with a commitment to contributing toward a cultural evolution in the game to identify and encourage qualified individuals to respond to the call for nominations.

The following is the important list of skills that will assist in identifying candidates who will appear on the election ballot.
