The Toronto Maple Leafs have promoted Hayley Wickenheiser, Ryan Hardy and Darryl Metcalf to assistant general manager and hired Curtis Sanford as a goaltending coach.
Wickenheiser, a four-time Olympic gold medallist with the Canadian women's team, joined the Leafs as assistant director of player development in 2018 and was promoted to senior director of the department last year.
She will continue as AGM of player development, the team said Tuesday in a statement.

Metcalf has been promoted to AGM of Toronto's hockey research and development department in his ninth season with the Leafs. He's been special assistant to GM Kyle Dubas since 2018.
Brandon Pridham will continue in his role as Toronto's primary AGM.
Sanford joins the Maple Leafs after five seasons as goaltending coach with the AHL affiliates of the Vancouver Canucks. He played 144 career NHL games with St. Louis, Vancouver and Columbus.
Laurence Gilman will be governor and senior vice-president of the American Hockey League's Toronto Marlies.
