Reporter Lilley says changes had to be made at Hockey Canada

Scott Smith is out as Hockey Canada’s president and CEO. In fact, the entire board of directors for Hockey Canada also resigned today. Smith was unable to survive the fallout related to the national body’s handling of sexual assault allegations and how settlements were paid out. The news angered many Canadians leading to calls for change. After spending nearly 30 years climbing the ladder at Hockey Canada, Smith lasted just over three months in the top job. Political reporter, Brian Lilley, tells BCN’s Hal Roberts that the pressure to have Smith and the board resign continued to mount as sponsors were pulling out of supporting Hockey Canada.
