Less than two months into the job, interim executive director Ian Penny and the NHLPA have parted ways, it was announced on Friday.
Penny had held the position since August 31 when the NHLPA fired Paul Kelly, who was named to the position after the league fired Ted Saskin amid allegations he ordered the spying of NHLPA player e-mail related to his initial hiring.
"Interim executive director Ian Penny informed the NHLPA staff and the NHLPA executive board earlier today that it is his position he has been constructively dismissed as interim executive director and can no longer work in the present circumstances," the NHLPA said in a released statement. "Effective today, Ian Penny is no longer employed by the NHLPA."
No one has been named as an immediate replacement.
The association also stated in the release that reports in other media outlets about the NHLPA suspending operations are false.
