PWHL expansion is impacting the job market for coaches and GMs as Hockey Canada starts search
Hockey Canada is searching for a new general manager and coach for the national women's team following Gina Kingsbury's departure after eight years. The job market for these positions has become more competitive due to the expansion of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), which has added four new teams. This shift is prompting Hockey Canada to adapt its approach to women's hockey, potentially incorporating PWHL personnel into its national team framework.

- ▪The PWHL has expanded to 12 teams, increasing competition for coaching and management roles.
- ▪Hockey Canada is looking to adapt its structure to align more closely with the PWHL's influence on women's hockey.
