THE IRISH Hockey Association (IHA) has been rocked by the resignation of chief executive, Paul Varian.

Varian has been offered the prestigious position of President & CEO at Sport BC in Vancouver, Canada.

Varian was appointed the IHA’s first chief executive in November 2004 and has spearheaded the implementation of the four-year Strategic Plan (2003-07) during his two and half years in office. He will finish in his present role at the end of August.
