Hockey Canada Brings Back Order of Hockey in Canada After Multi-Year Hiatus
A nine-member committee chaired by John Shannon will choose three honourees each year as Hockey Canada resumes the national award after a multi-year pause.
- On Tuesday, Hockey Canada announced the return of the Order of Hockey in Canada after a multi-year hiatus, reviving the national honour program.
- Established in 2012, the Order has recognized 36 individuals for their contributions to hockey; the program paused after June 2022 induction, one month following sexual assault allegations involving members of Canada's 2018 world junior team.
- Broadcaster John Shannon chairs the new nine-member selection committee, which includes previous recipients Jayna Hefford, Angela James, France St-Louis, and Steve Yzerman, alongside Kyle Dubas, Tyler McGregor, Anne Merklinger, and Shawn Redmond.
- The committee will select three honourees annually based on their contributions to the growth and development of the National Winter Sport, ensuring systematic recognition of impactful figures.
- Hockey Canada CEO Katherine Henderson called the initiative "important" to celebrate inspiring individuals, with the Class of 2026 expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
