#267 IWD Spotlight Myrna Khan- Be Bold in Hockey Leadership
Friday, 13 March, 2026
We sit down with Myrna Khan, Executive Director of the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation, to talk about immigrant roots, career risks, and what it takes to lead inside hockey culture. We dig into women’s hockey growth in Edmonton, practical ways to open doors for girls and newcomers, and why speaking up is one of the simplest forms of support. • Myrna’s path from Edmonton to McGill University then CN Rail and corporate sustainability • Returning home for community, family, and a more grounded life • Navigating a male-dominated hockey industry through confidence and competence • Work-life balance during the season with strong family support • Career advice that sticks: be bold, be curious, be kind • Women’s Hockey Advisory Committee and efforts to grow women in hockey business • PWHL excitement in Edmonton and what representation feels like in the arena • Even Strength programming and building a hockey pathway for girls • Making hockey less intimidating for new Canadians and underrepresented communities • A simple ally move that changes rooms: speaking up when a remark crosses the line Remember to follow us across socials @theuniversalradio.
