Q:Information: - Robert Alan Eagleson (born April 24, 1933) is a disbarred Canadian lawyer, convicted criminal in two countries, former politician, hockey agent and promoter. Clients that he represented included superstars Bobby Orr and Darryl Sittler, and he was the first executive director of the NHL Players Association (NHLPA), which was initially lauded for improving the bargaining power of National Hockey League (NHL) players. He is also well known for providing the opportunity for professional players to compete in international hockey, by promoting the 1972 Summit Series between Canada and the Soviet Union, and the Canada Cup (now the World Cup of Hockey). However, Eagleson was convicted of fraud and embezzlement and briefly imprisoned, after it was revealed that he had abused his position for many years by defrauding his clients and skimming money from tournaments. After his convictions, he was removed as a member of the Order of Canada and resigned from the Hockey Hall of Fame where he had been inducted in the builder category. - An executive director is a chief executive officer (CEO) or managing director of an organization, company, or corporation.

"Bob" Goodenow (born October 29, 1952 in Dearborn, Michigan) is an American manager, who became the Executive Director of the National Hockey League Players Association in 1992, succeeding Alan Eagleson.

Saskin had previously served as NHLPA Senior Director of Business Affairs and Licensing since 1992 , as one of Goodenow 's new deputies when the latter assumed the role of executive director after the forced resignation of Alan Eagleson . Saskin was credited with taking a more conciliatory approach to collective bargaining agreement negotiations , compared to the hard - line stance of Goodenow , which ended the 2004 -- 05 NHL lockout . Saskin was widely seen as the heir apparent to Goodenow and initially touted as a successor due to his knowledge of the CBA , so he became NHLPA Executive Director in 2005 after Goodenow was forced to step down . However , Saskin 's hiring came under scrutiny from some players who felt that he was improperly elected and misrepresented salary figures during negotiations with players union president Trevor Linden , a forward with the Vancouver Canucks . On October 2 , 2006 , a group of NHL players , led by Chris Chelios filed a lawsuit in US Federal Court to remove Saskin and also millions of dollars in damages and punitive damages .

On March 11 , 2007 , Saskin was placed on a paid leave of absence from his position as NHLPA executive director , before being let go on May 10 .
