I wouldn’t discount someone like that to have a positive impact from the top down.
I'm just thinking that it's bad optics. If people thought she didn't earn her spot on the team they probably won't buy that she's the most qualified to run the organization.

I don't deny at all that she's had an amazing career and has lots to offer. But I think Hockey Canada needs a facelift. Wickenheiser isn't it. I think she's doing more good for the female game as AGM with the Leafs, anyway.
