Bauer returned to Hockey Canada two weeks ago following the arrival of Henderson, who has run the national curling association for the past seven years. But Nike decided to end the cooperation. In a statement, the union thanked the company for its support over the past two decades.
Under new leadership, Henderson will look to repair Hockey Canada’s tarnished reputation. The union came under fire last year for how it handled a case of sexual assault allegedly committed by players of the U20 national team in 2018.
She quietly settled out of court last May with a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by eight players of the gold team from the Junior World Championships at an official event. Because of this, the government suspended financial support for hockey. In October, the entire leadership of the union, including president Scott Smith, resigned due to the affair.
