Former Hockey Canada CEO Nicholson among those summoned to testify before committee

The House of Commons heritage committee has ordered another round of hearings on Hockey Canada’s handling of sexual assault claims, with former and current top executives and board chairs summoned to testify.

In a meeting Tuesday, the standing committee on Canadian Heritage agreed to order Hockey Canada interim board of directors chair Andrea Skinner, former chair Michael Brind’Amour and former president and chief executive officer Bob Nicholson to appear at an Oct. 4 hearing.

It will be the third time Hockey Canada executives have testified before the committee since news broke of an alleged sexual assault involving players on Canada’s junior team
