I don't think hail would damage an engine, engines are engineered to withstand very tough flight conditions!

One of the commenters mentions hail as a possible reason for the engine failure. Glad everything turned out o.k.

Hail that is large enough can and has caused engine failure though very rare. Most famous accident is Southern DC-9 many decades ago.

I don't know about Air Canada customers... after hearing the trip would be twice as long on one engine, the lady in 42L said, "if we lose the other engine we'll be up here all day"! ba-dum-cha
