Cassie Campbell-Pascall will open the Annual Convention with a keynote address on Thursday morning. Cassie is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in women’s hockey and an eight-time world champion. Additionally, she made history as the first woman to provide colour commentary on Hockey Night in Canada. We eagerly anticipate Cassie sharing her experiences on the board of Hockey Canada, her personal journey, and her insights on board governance and leadership.
