Kristi Miller Named Interim Chair of Hockey Canada’s Board of Governors
Miller joined the board in 2023 and previously chaired its audit and finance committee as Hockey Canada prepares to choose a permanent chair.
On Wednesday, Hockey Canada named Kristi Miller interim board chair, the organization announced. Miller assumes the leadership role effective immediately.
Miller replaces Jonathan Goldbloom, who stepped down on Monday. The organization will elect a new permanent chair at its annual meeting on December 5 in Toronto.
Miller, president of financial service company RTB Enterprises Inc., previously chaired Hockey Canada's audit and finance committee. She has served on the board since November 2023 and was re-elected to a three-year term last November.
The previous board and CEO Scott Smith resigned on October 11, 2022, following criticism regarding the handling of sexual assault allegations involving five members of Canada's 2018 world junior team.
Miller was among the new appointees who replaced a transition board installed at the height of the sexual assault scandal. Her selection marks a shift toward permanent leadership as the organization moves beyond crisis management.
