PWHL expansion upends the job market for coaches and GMs as Hockey Canada starts search

Hockey Canada announced on Tuesday that general manager Gina Kingsbury will not return after eight years leading the national women's team, leaving the organization searching for both a new GM and a new coach. Kingsbury currently serves as GM of the PWHL's Toronto Sceptres, while former national team coach Troy Ryan was recently hired as coach and GM of the new PWHL expansion team in San Jose. The dual vacancies highlight how the rapid growth of the Professional Women's Hockey League has significantly altered the coaching and management job market for women's hockey.
