Monday, Apr. 21st, 2008
TORONTO – The National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) today announced that Brian Campbell of the San Jose Sharks, Jeff Halpern of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres, Mathieu Schneider of the Anaheim Ducks and Jason Spezza of the Ottawa Senators have been selected by the Executive Board as the NHLPA’s new representatives on the Competition Committee.
The NHLPA’s Executive Board consists of the player representatives from each of the 30 NHL clubs. The new Competition Committee members will serve a term of two years. The new players replace the four outgoing Competition Committee members: Rob Blake of the Los Angeles Kings, Jarome Iginla of the Calgary Flames, Trevor Linden of the Vancouver Canucks and Brendan Shanahan of the New York Rangers.
“The outgoing players on the committee deserve a great deal of gratitude for the work they have done to improve our game over the last three seasons,” said Paul Kelly, NHLPA Executive Director. “The NHLPA is looking forward to our newest members representing their fellow players on this important committee.”
The NHL’s current Competition Committee representatives include General Managers Bob Gainey of the Montreal Canadiens, Kevin Lowe of the Edmonton Oilers, David Poile of the Nashville Predators, Don Waddell of the Atlanta Thrashers and Owner Ed Snider of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Colin Campbell on behalf of the NHL, and Eric Lindros on behalf of the NHLPA, participate in the Competition Committee meetings but do not have voting rights.
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 NHLPA’s Executive Board and the NHL Board of Governors.
The next Competition Committee meeting will take place on June 13, 2008 in Toronto.
