© Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press Hockey Canada's board of directors announced on Saturday that Michael Brind’Amour has stepped down from his role as chair of the organization. The latest development in the Hockey Canada controversy over its handling of allegations of sexual assault saw Michael Brind'Amour step down Friday night as chair of its board of directors, effective immediately. Hockey Canada board of directors and members will meet in the coming days to determine next steps and to appoint an interim chair. Canada's Minister of Sport Pascale St-Onge said in an announcement on Saturday that she expects further changes in Hockey Canada's organization will come because of the expectations of Canadians. The results have since been provided to police and Hockey Canada's investigators and the NHL, which in May launched its own investigation.
