NEWTON, Mass. (AP) — Paul Kelly, the former head of the NHL Players’ Association, has resigned as executive director of College Hockey Inc.

The announcement was made Monday by the Hockey Commissioners Association, which controls College Hockey Inc. — a two-year old organization that was formed as a central marketing vehicle for college hockey. It is funded in part by a grant from the NHL through USA Hockey.

“The HCA would like to thank Paul for his service to CHI and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” Steve Hagwell, Hockey Commissioners Association president and ECAC Hockey commissioner, said in a statement.

No replacement was chosen for Kelly, who was hired in November 2009. The commissioners said they expect to discuss a “different course” for the executive director position.
