About Our Speaker

Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser, Medical Doctor | Four-time Olympic Gold Medalist | Member of the Hockey Hall of Fame

hayley

Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser is regarded as one of the best female hockey players in the world. With seven world championships, six Olympic appearances, and five Olympic medals, she is a titan of sport and a leader both on and off the ice.

Hayley made hockey history as the first female player to notch a point in a men’s professional game, and as the first woman to have played in or coached at four NHL development camps with the Philadelphia Flyers, the Edmonton Oilers, and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Her trailblazing earned her a spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame and the prestigious Order of Canada.

Hayley retired from hockey in 2017 and the International Olympic Committee in 2022. She is currently serving as the Assistant GM of Player Development for the Toronto Maple Leafs and is a practicing Family and Emergency medicine doctor.
