Major sponsors — including Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire and Nike — responded by permanently cutting ties with Hockey Canada or withdrawing funding for men’s hockey that season. Radio-Canada first reported Skinner’s retirement on Saturday night, and Hockey Canada confirmed Skinner’s departure in a statement about an hour later. “As a board of directors, we wish Andrea well and want to thank her for her service to Hockey Canada,” the statement read. Approximately 10,000 minor junior players and nearly 1,000 major junior players are registered to play in Hockey Canada’s administered leagues and teams.
