Related To Other Firings |
NHL Senior VP/Broadcasting JOHN SHANNON, one of the league's "most respected executives, is parting ways with the NHL at the end of the month," according to David Shoalts of the GLOBE & MAIL. Shannon said that the departure was "by mutual agreement" and "not connected to the firing of 20 employees" from NHL offices. Shannon: "I saw that I didn't fit into what they were trying to do and they agreed" (GLOBE & MAIL, 6/23).
NHL MAKING CHANGES: The NHL yesterday began letting go as many as 20 people across PR, broadcasting, NHL.com and club consulting divisions, according to sources. The moves are part of a restructuring where the NHL plans to eliminate roughly 20 positions and hire as many as 20 new employees. A league spokesperson said it plans to hire new employees who have the specific skills necessary to continue the league's growth as a media company (Mickle & Fisher, SportsBusiness Journal).
