The Vancouver Canucks name Daniel and Henrik Sedin as co-presidents overseeing hockey operations, and they promote Ryan Johnson to general manager, according to multiple reports. CBC and Global News describe the appointments as part of a leadership change in the club’s hockey operations. The Athletic also reports that the Sedins and Johnson will lead the organization into its next phase.
Fox News adds context, stating that the appointments follow changes to other front-office roles. It reports that the team “cleans house,” including the firing of general manager Patrik Allvin and the step-down of Jim Rutherford from his position. The Athletic, CBC, and Global do not emphasize the same details about those prior changes, but they all agree on the core appointments: the Sedin twins move into co-presidential hockey operations roles, and Johnson is elevated to general manager. Together, the outlets frame the move as an internal reorganization of the Canucks’ hockey leadership structure.
