Vancouver (CKNW/AM980)
TORONTO - Dennis Skulsky is resigning as president and CEO of the publishing division of Canwest Global Communications Corp. effective April 30, the company announced Friday.
Skulsky says he wants to spend more time with his family and pursue other opportunities closer to his home in British Columbia.
That all but confirms a story in the Globe and Mail that Skulsky is set to become the president and CEO of the B-C Lions, a position that has been vacant since the sudden passing of Bob Ackles almost two years ago.
Lions owner David Braley would not comment on the report, but did say that Skulsky would be a good fit if he was able to acquire him.

Canucks 6 Avalanche 4
Jannik Hansen scored the decisive goal with 2:08 remaining, Mikael Samuelsson had his first NHL hat trick, and Vancouver rallied to beat Colorado.
Daniel Sedin added an empty-net goal with 8.8 seconds left to seal the Canucks' fourth straight win over Colorado. The Avalanche were denied in their bid to move into a tie with Northwest Division-leading Vancouver.
Down 3-0 and 4-1, Vancouver pulled within 4-3 when Samuelsson scored his third goal of the night at 18:18 of the second period, picking up a loose puck in the crease and tapping it past Anderson.
The Canucks tied it with 11:56 remaining when Alex Burrows, positioned in front of Anderson, deflected in Christian Erhoff's shot.
Colorado scored three goals in the first period, netting the first two in a 28-second span.
