Skate Canada leadership changes
Skate Canada CEO William Thompson has announced his retirement.
And ... "The Board plans no immediate search for a CEO."

Is it me, or does this news sound strange, given that Canada will be hosting Worlds??
What the ?!?!
I forgot to add that Skate Canada -- uncharacteristically -- has not said a word about this news on Twitter or Facebook.
The press release was posted on the SC website, but on a Friday going into a holiday weekend. Maybe they hoped no one would notice??
(Meanwhile, they did bother to tweet a "Happy long weekend" message.)
What the.. falorum-ding-dorum-down-day ?!?! ( in the words of the old folk song)
Gossip , please.
No, Colleen this is much more Wagnerian than that. It could be the Gotterdammerung. In the past year there have been unheard-of wonders to behold. Top teams have called it quits. The (argueably) top coaching team in the world has split. Skaters from the past are rising from their slumbers to compete again. It gives a person goosebumps.
Gott In Himmel !
Why stop there, LOL? Let's make Elvis Stojko CEO since car racing may not work-out....insert sarcasm...Originally Posted by slipslidin
If you want to be ridiculous - maybe David Dore wants his job back.

Hmmm that would be scary...
emdee..bite your tongue....We know Cinquanta has spoiled his fun, we don't want him to take his marbles and go home ..
heyhey..you make my blood run cold..
Thanks guys. Now I'll have nightmares about both of these scenarios.
I like the idea of Michael Slipchuk as as CEO or Benoit Lavoie. I think both have done an excellent job in their respective roles.
Oh ,"Let's make Mikey try it " ?
Seriously, I hope it's not for health reasons..but having said that... It's passing strange that this should come about so close to the start of the season , without prior notification .
And I thought the late Friday info dump was only in politics. ( Take that wherever you like )
Wait, if Michael is promoted will that be an Up-chuck?
I think Mikey has done fairly well where he is at so hope he doesnt move so soon to Olys.
The trouble is , whenever I see or hear Michael Slipchuk, I can't help thinking of when he got a nosebleed in competition and Rod Black was waxing poetic about "Michael Slipchuk's Bloody Battle "..
Benoit Lavoie seems pretty OK to me but is there resistance to him internationally..or does it matter ?
