[VodkaFish]

TORONTO – The National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) today announced that former players Darby Hendrickson, Jim McKenzie, Joe Reekie, Dave Scatchard, Steve Webb and Rob Zamuner have been selected by the Executive Board to serve as the NHLPA’s first Divisional Representatives.

In their roles, the Divisional Representatives will provide support to the team Player Representatives and help facilitate communication between the NHLPA office and the membership. The NHLPA’s six Divisional Representatives will work with players in the following NHL Divisions: Darby Hendrickson - Northwest; Jim McKenzie - Central; Dave Scatchard - Pacific; Joe Reekie - Southeast; Steve Webb - Atlantic; and Rob Zamuner - Northeast.

“Having the six Divisional Representatives in place is a key step going forward for the NHLPA,” said NHLPA Ombudsman Eric Lindros. “The Divisional Representatives will play a significant role in maintaining a strong relationship between the membership and our staff office in Toronto. The reps are very excited about their new role and eager to help continue to strengthen the NHLPA.”

Lindros, as NHLPA Ombudsman will coordinate the activities of the NHLPA’s Divisional Representatives. The Divisional Representative roles were created as a part of the NHLPA’s new constitution that was ratified in October 2007.

He did... kind of unceremoniously, IMO.

Good to see Darby stay active with hockey and represent the NW.

Actually Milwaukee signed him to a PTO to give him one more shot after rehabing his knee. Played with alot of grit while he was here. He decided to retire when he felt he couldn't get back to 100 percent. He said the body just wasn't co-operating anymore. Good Luck Dave in your new position.

Haha, I like how Eric Lindros is in charge of bossing Joe Reekie around, just like he used to be on the ice

It's also nice to see that all of those represenatives have hyperlinks on this site
