Susan Auch out as chief executive officer of Speed Skating Canada

CALGARY — Susan Auch is out as chief executive officer of Speed Skating Canada.

A spokesman says the Speed Skating Canada board of directors decided that it “was in the best interest” of the federation that Auch no longer serve in the role.

A reason for the departure was not provided.

Auch, a three-time Olympic medallist in long-track speedskating, spent more than five years in the position.
