I played hockey for almost 10 years, coached for a couple. My brother was part of Alberta Selects team that went to Europe, my cousin played for the Calgary Canucks. My father ran hockey schools and was the head of Bow Valley area hockey program. Ironically, I have a deeper hockey background than Snow himself.

Of interest on this topic - Snow was initially hired by Risebrough BECAUSE he was a hockey outsider. Risebrough wanted someone who was curious and intelligent but had "no institutional knowledge" because he saw big changes coming to the league thanks to the salary cap (and rise of analytics in baseball).
