Troy Ryan was named general manager and head coach of the Professional Women’s Hockey League expansion team PWHL San Jose on May 22, 2026. He leaves the Toronto Sceptres after three seasons as their head coach. Ryan also brings nine years of experience with Canada’s National Women’s Hockey Team, positioning him to oversee both roster construction and on-ICE strategy in San Jose. The appointment gives one leader control over the franchise’s identity from day one and creates an immediate vacancy in Toronto’s coaching staff, shifting personnel decisions across the PWHL.
