The CEO of the organization behind a transformed Lansdowne Park and Ottawa Redblacks, 67’s and Fury teams is set to retire, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group announced Wednesday.
Bernie Ashe will leave April 30 with chief operating officer Mark Goudie set to take over his role.
OSEG executive chairman and managing partner Roger Greenberg hailed Ashe in a press release as a “tremendous leader” who, in the last five years, realized the vision of turning Lansdowne Park into what he called a “vibrant urban lifestyle district.”
Under Ashe’s watch since 2013, OSEG managed the construction of the TD Place complex and restaurant and retail district, launched the football and soccer teams, re-launched the Ontario Hockey League team and staged events including the 2017 Grey Cup and NHL 100 Classic, the organization said.
“When I look back on everything we’ve done in such a short time, I couldn’t be more proud of our staff and I thank them for their hard work,” Ashe said, adding that he’s been “privileged to work with such exceptional people” but at 61 is ready to spend more time with his family and launch a consulting business.
Greenberg said that Goudie, who spent nine years at the Ottawa Senators, was Ashe’s first hire at OSEG and was part of the group’s succession planning from the beginning.
Goudie said he felt “privileged” to take on the role.
“I feel that everything in my career to date has led me to this job,” he said. “I was born and raised in Ottawa and grew-up playing ODMHA minor hockey and attending Ottawa 67’s games.
“In fact, my uncle was Howard Darwin, the team’s original owner, so as you can imagine, the arena and Lansdowne have always been special places for me.”
