It’s a long-awaited move.
The @MapleLeafs have also hired Hayley Wickenheiser as the club’s Assistant Director of Player Development, Noelle Needham as an Amateur Scout based in the Midwestern United States and Victor Carneiro as an Amateur Scout based in Ontario. #TMLtalk
Wickenheiser’s future with the Leafs has been subject to rumour mill speculation for quite some time now, dating back to her attendance at the team’s development camp in May. At the time, Wickenheiser herself even mused about such a possibility, hinting at the likelihood of ongoing discussions between her and “Kyle” to determine her organizational fit.
