"As a player, parent and executive, Brendan's experience in the game is second to none and we are extremely appreciative of his commitment to lead this important project that will strengthen the experience for everyone involved with men's junior hockey in Ontario. Brendan is tremendously proud of his Ontario roots, and he has the full support of Hockey Canada and our three Ontario Members as he works to deliver recommendations that will benefit junior hockey in his home province for generations to come."
"Playing hockey for Team Canada was one of the greatest honours of my career, so to work on this project with Hockey Canada and its three Ontario Members to help give back to the game in my home province is an opportunity that I am very grateful for. Throughout this review, I'm looking forward to learning from those involved in junior hockey in Ontario and better understanding their visions for how we can build a stronger system for everyone participating in our great game."
Brendan Shanahan will lead a review of men's junior hockey in Ontario, working with Hockey Canada, Hockey Eastern Ontario, Hockey Northwestern Ontario and the Ontario Hockey Federation. The review will prioritize improving player skills, character development and creating sustainable plans tailored to modern athletes. Shanahan will submit an interim report and a final report to a six-person committee, with the final report due at a later date in 2026. Hockey Canada and the three Ontario members have offered their support, and Shanahan intends to consult broadly with stakeholders across junior hockey in Ontario to build a stronger system.
