OTTAWA, Ontario – Hockey Canada’s 13 Members have re-elected Gillian Apps and Amanda Fowler to the Hockey Canada Board of Directors and elected Daniel Fontaine, with all three set to serve three-year terms.

“We are excited to have Gillian and Amanda re-elected and look forward to welcoming Daniel to our board after a year of tremendous progress,” said Jonathan Goldbloom, chair of the Hockey Canada Board of Directors. “Our board is wholeheartedly committed to being part of the solution to transform the culture of hockey and will continue to share our important work with Canadians.

“As a former national team athlete, outgoing director Corey Hirsch brought critical insights to our board deliberations and we are counting on him to remain involved as we focus on the player pathways in the months and years ahead.”

Apps chairs Hockey Canada’s women’s and girls’ hockey steering committee, which published a national discussion paper in October and is preparing a blueprint for growing the game that will be published in the first half of 2025, while Fowler chairs the sub-committee that is overseeing the creation of the new national team athlete committee.

A proud citizen of the Métis Nation, Daniel Fontaine is the chief executive officer of MICHIFCO Consulting and has extensive experience in government relations, policy development and communications.

Fontaine graduated from the University of Manitoba and Langara College and has also volunteered on a number of boards, including the New Westminster Minor Hockey Association, Douglas College, SafeCare BC, the BC College of Psychologists and the Canadian Association for Long-Term Care.
