Museum spokesman Kelly Masse says that Ford was elected to the board for the first time at a member’s meeting on March 25.

Masse says Ford won’t be on the committee that selects inductees to the Hall of Fame.

Councillors Mark Grimes and Stephen Holyday were also elected to the board during the meeting.

Ford said in an interview on Saturday that he has a lot of experience in the hockey world and wanted to help promote the sport to children.

Ford also said he played hockey when he was younger and that he would do anything he could to support the game throughout Canada.
