Never mind that Canada has a game on Thursday night at the 2017 world junior hockey championship, Hockey Canada chose to announce early in the afternoon at the Air Canada Centre that Smith, the organization’s chief operating officer, will take over as president on July 1.
Smith, who has been with Hockey Canada since 1995, will retain his COO title.
