HAYLEY WICKENHEISER BIOGRAPHY
Hayley Wickenheiser is an Olympic gold medalist, Medical Doctor, Author, and AGM of Player Development for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Seven World Championships; Six Olympic appearances; Five Olympic medals; Four Olympic Gold medals, and now Medical Doctor and NHL leader – Hayley Wickenheiser is a titan of the sport both on and off the ice.
A first-ballot Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, Hayley’s hockey IQ is highly respected in both the male and female game. She has played in, or coached at, four NHL development camps the Edmonton Oilers, Philadelphia Flyers and the Toronto Maple Leafs – having accepted a permanent full-time role of AGM of Player Development for the Leafs in 2020.
Alongside her career in the NHL, Hayley is a medical doctor practicing family and emergency medicine in the Toronto area – a pursuit she had dreamt of her whole life and began in 2017 following her retirement from her 23 years on the National Women’s Team.
Prior to her retirement from hockey, she was the first in the world to notch a point in a men’s professional game while playing in Finland and held the record for the most assists, points and goals for the Canadian Women’s National team.
Hayley’s ascent to the top of the sport started in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan when at age 15 she was the youngest member chosen for the Canadian Women’s National team. Her Olympic career spanned 23 years, with five Olympic medals and two sports, as she also competed in softball in Sydney in 2000. In 2014 she was Canada’s official flag bearer and she served on the IOC Athletes Commission.
She has many accolades including being named one of Sports Illustrated Top 25 Toughest Athletes in the World; has been twice named to the “Power 50 in Sports”; was among the QMI Agency’s “Top 10 Greatest Female Athletes in History of Sports”; is a member of the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame; Canada’s Top 40 under 40; Canada Sports Hall of Fame; Canada’s Walk of Fame; and in 2014 she was awarded Canada’s highest honour when she was appointed to the Order of Canada for her achievements as an athlete for her contributions to the growth of the women’s game.
Hayley’s passion for sport is equally matched by her desire to give back to the community through her work with dozens of philanthropic organizations including Lace ‘Em Up, Jumpstart, KidSport and Right to Play – all organizations dedicated to ensuring kids of all financial and cultural backgrounds can play sports. She is also the founder of the world-renown personal and athletic development weekend, The Canadian Tire Wickenheiser World Female Hockey Festival which provides mentoring and growth opportunities for young athletes from around the world.
Hayley holds several honourary degrees from institutions across Canada, a Masters in Kinesiology and is a practicing doctor of Family and Emergency Medicine while maintaining a position as the AGM of Player Development for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
She is a mom to her grown son, Noah who is currently in university.
