Meghan Duggan, a highly decorated U.S. women’s hockey player and Olympic gold medalist, is named general manager of the PWHL’s expansion franchise in Hamilton, Ontario. Multiple outlets report that she leaves a position with the NHL’s New Jersey Devils to take on the GM role for the new team. The Athletic notes that Duggan spent the past five years working with the Devils in a player-development capacity. The New York Post similarly describes her departure from the Devils and her move to the PWHL, characterizing the Hamilton position as an expansion-team GM job. Winnipeg Free Press also reports that Duggan takes over as GM of the PWHL expansion team in Hamilton after leaving the Devils. Duggan is recognized across sources as one of the most decorated players in U.S. women’s national team history and a three-time U.S. Olympian. The announcements frame the move as a shift from NHL organizational work to a leadership role in the PWHL’s growing league structure in Canada.
