Alfredsson re-elected by NHLPA
According to tsn:The National Hockey League Players’ Association announced that Daniel Alfredsson of the Ottawa Senators has been re-elected as a Vice-President on the interim Executive Committee at its annual European Player Meetings in Stockholm, Sweden.
Alfredsson joins Kevyn Adams, Alyn McCauley, Wade Redden, Mathieu Schneider and Marty Turco, who were previously elected as interim Vice-Presidents on July 12, 2006 at the NHLPA’s North American Player Meetings.
“It is great that Daniel has made a commitment to continue representing his fellow players.” said Ted Saskin, NHLPA Executive Director. “His four years of previous experience as an Executive Committee member will be invaluable to the other committee members and the entire membership.”
In March, the NHLPA began a review of its Constitution and recently formed a committee of players, NHLPA staff and outside counsel who have been given the mandate to put forward a revised constitution which will be voted on by the entire NHLPA membership.
The current Executive Board felt it was important to respect this process and therefore elected the Executive Committee on an interim basis. This Executive Committee will function in its traditional capacity.
