The Professional Women's Hockey League is filling key business operation positions this week, as the PWHL builds up its 2026 expansion teams.
The PWHL named business directors for all four 2026 expansion markets — Detroit, Hamilton, Las Vegas, and San Jose — along with one for the New York Sirens. Each hire will lead local business operations ahead of the 2026-27 PWHL season. That includes everything from ticket sales and fan engagement to community outreach.

Detroit's expansion team tapped Alicia Mullin, a former MLB vice president who spent 15 years in business operations at Major League Baseball before joining the Professional Women's Hockey League. She most recently served as COO of the American Cornhole League.
Over in the Bay Area, the league brought on Chris Jensen for PWHL San Jose. A lifelong San Jose native, Jensen previously oversaw group ticket sales for the Golden State Warriors and San Jose Sharks.
Marian Agyei-Gyamera will lead PWHL Hamilton's front office. Her appointment comes after a tenure with the Toronto Marlies that included their 2026 Calder Cup championship.
In Las Vegas, Sheri Hudspeth arrives with 30-plus years in the sport. She most recently grew women's and youth hockey with the Golden Knights. Amanda Archer rounds out the group, joining the New York Sirens with more than 15 years in sports marketing, including roles at ESPN and Nielsen.
