OTTAWA — Nolan Thiessen has been named Curling Canada’s new chief executive officer.

He replaces Katherine Henderson, who left the organization in August to become Hockey Canada’s CEO.

Thiessen, a three-time Canadian and former world men’s curling champion, has been a member of Curling Canada’s senior management team for the past four years.

The 43-year-old played for teams that won the Brier in 2010, 2014 and 2015 and played lead for Kevin Koe’s team that won a men’s world title in 2010.

He became an athlete liaison for Curling Canada after he retired from competitive curling in 2016. He was hired by the organization two years later and most recently served as executive director of marketing and fan experience.
