Order of Hockey in Canada Reinstated by Hockey Canada

Hockey Canada officially announced the revival of the Order of Hockey in Canada, a recognition that has been on hold for multiple years. This program aims to honour individuals who have made notable contributions to the growth and development of hockey across the nation. As part of this revival, a new selection committee has been established, consisting of nine members and chaired by well-known hockey broadcaster and producer John Shannon. The committee will be responsible for selecting three honourees each year, acknowledging their impact on the sport and encouraging further contributions within the hockey community. The Order serves to not only uplift those who have significantly influenced hockey but also to inspire upcoming generations in the sport, ensuring that the legacy of Canadian hockey continues to thrive.
