No way this is related to the Hockey Canada poop show? I imagine Bobby Nicks would be stepping aside soon too if there was spreading fallout behind the scenes.


That is where my brain went to instantly. He has been an executive director for Hockey Canada since 2000.Wondering how many fat cats disappear in the near future.

I wish Lowe never entered the management group. I would have loved to remember him as the tough SOB he was on the ice. Great career, but a jackass of a manager who proved time and time again that people fail up.


Agreed that it would have been better for his legacy if he hadn't been involved in team management.

With regards to Team Canada, I don't think it's related. There's been rumours of him stepping down for over a year. I think the Hall of Fame thing was important to him (even if he's a really weak inductee), and with that done, he's content to sail off in to the sunset.

With Team Canada, he just hasn't been as involved with that organization. He had his hands full elsewhere, and so while there was participation with management of Olympic teams and the like, it isn't like he was managing the World Juniors or anything.

Bob Nicholson is going to get stained badly by this - if it was anywhere but Edmonton where the media are all afraid of the team and owner they would already be harassing him for quotes - but Kevin Lowe isn't likely to have had any involvement in the rape fund scandal there.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
