The Toronto Maple Leafs have promoted Hockey Hall of Famer Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser to the role of senior director of player development, the team announced Monday.
Dr. Wickenheiser has served as assistant director of player development since Aug. 2018. The news comes just days after she revealed that she'd received her medical degree from University of Calgary's Cumming School of Medicine.
The Canadian women's hockey star — a quadruple Olympic gold medallist and seven-time world champion — retired in January 2017.
The Maple Leafs also announced Monday that they've hired fellow former Team Canada star and Hockey Hall of Famer Danielle Goyette as the club's director of player development.
Goyette most recently served as head coach of the University of Calgary Dinos women's hockey program since 2007, capturing the CIS Championship in 2012.
She was also an assistant for Canada, capturing gold at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and the 2012 women's world championships, and a silver at the 2013 worlds.
Goyette represented Canada on the national stage for 16 years, winning gold at the 2002 and 2006 Olympics, and silver in 1998, adding eight first-place finishes at the women's worlds.
Additionally, the Maple Leafs announced player development consultant Darryl Belfry and Belfry Hockey Inc. will oversee the technical development of players and staff, while Will Sibley has been promoted to director of development operations and analysis.
