Hockey Canada and Bob Nicholson

Bob Nicholson: Renney, hired earlier this week to lead Hockey Canada, is working out of the same office as his predecessor, Bob Nicholson, but he'll be tasked with doing a much different job. , according to CBC. Renney on-the-job challenges include trying to make hockey more affordable for children to begin playing and for adults to continue. He'll also be counted on to handle the 2018 Winter Olympics, which may or may not include NHL players. Tom Renney joked that on his first day as Hockey Canada president and CEO, his first challenge was finding his new office. "When Bob Nicholson took over in 1998 , Hockey Canada needed Bob to turn it into a business, and he did, and he made it a great business," Mike Babcock said. "So now the grassroots program can be more of a focus because Bob looked after the business. They've got to maintain the business, they've got to grow grassroots." (www.immigrantscanada.com).
