Jonathan Goldbloom, who has chaired Hockey Canada’s board of directors since December 2022, announced his resignation after nearly four years in the role, with no official explanation from the organization.
A New Era for Hockey Canada
Elected chair in November 2023, Goldbloom will step down without a stated reason, and the board has named an interim replacement that will serve until the 2026 Hockey Canada Annual Meeting on December 5, when a permanent successor will be selected.
The resignation comes in the wake of the 2018 sexual assault scandal that implicated five members of the Canadian National Junior Team, prompting a series of reforms aimed at restoring confidence and positioning Hockey Canada for success across the Olympic and Paralympic quadrennial, highlighted by the upcoming 2026 Winter Games.
Goldbloom said he will transition from his board duties to become Team Canada’s most enthusiastic supporter, marking a personal shift that underscores the broader cultural change the organization hopes to achieve.
