Brodeur Appointed To Competition Committee
Just off the wire from the NHLPA:
TORONTO/NEW YORK (November 17, 2005): New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur has been named to the Competition Committee, the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association announced today.
“I am excited to be a part of the Competition Committee since it plays such an important role in the future of the NHL,” Brodeur said. “I look forward to representing the goalie fraternity as part of my role."
The Competition Committee now includes the following players: Rob Blake of Colorado, Brodeur, Jarome Iginla of Calgary, Trevor Linden of Vancouver and Brendan Shanahan of Detroit. The Club officials are General Managers Bob Gainey of Montreal, Kevin Lowe of Edmonton, David Poile of Nashville, Don Waddell of Atlanta and Owner Ed Snider of Philadelphia.
Colin Campbell, NHL Executive Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations, supervises the Committee and is a non-voting member. Mike Gartner, NHLPA Director of Business Relations, also is a non-voting member.
The role and purpose of the Competition Committee, which consists of up to 10 voting members, is to evaluate and make recommendations on matters relating to the game and the way the game is played to the NHL Board of Governors.
Well, the goalies have their guy on the inside now. I hope Brodeur is open about the precise changes his fraternity brothers might want to see.
