## Resource

Hayley Wickenheiser, hockey legend and former assistant GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has stepped down unexpectedly — a move she says came as a surprise after believing she’d continue contributing under new GM John Chayka. Wickenheiser, who joined the Leafs in 2018 and oversaw their top draft pick’s development camp just last week, praised her team’s achievements and thanked colleagues. She’s not alone — several front office veterans, including Darryl Metcalf, Mark Leach, and Dave Morrison, were also let go amid Chayka’s sweeping organizational overhaul. The Leafs called it a tough but necessary evaluation, signaling a major shift in their hockey operations direction.
