The president of the Humboldt Broncos minor hockey team is leaving the organization.

Kevin Garinger will not seek re-election to the role, he announced at a club board meeting Tuesday, according to The Canadian Press.

He cited wanting to spend more time with his family and his job as a CEO in the Saskatchewan school system as reasons for his decision. He will continue to sit on the Broncos' board and provide support for the incoming president, Jamie Brockman.

Garinger became the public face of the team following the bus crash in April that left 16 people dead and 13 injured.
