At the introductory news conference last week, the union's newly appointed executive director, Marty Walsh, laid down promises of open, two-way lines of communication with membership and emphasized a need for player engagement.
Marty Walsh, the National Hockey League Players’ Association's newly appointed executive director, holds a press conference in Toronto on Thursday, March 30, 2023. The union's new executive director didn't offer specifics on how he will approach negotiations on the next collective bargaining agreement or his view of hockey's current economic system — one that's included a salary cap since 2005 — at that introductory news conference last week.
"Making sure everybody's aware of the situation," he said. "Getting all the information to make the right decisions."Kerfoot said being in touch more regularly will give players, even during the hectic season, a sense of community. A consistent issue for hockey's top union through the years has been engagement, especially during labour peace.
Unlike many of his predecessors, Walsh isn't a lawyer. It was clear listening to him speak publicly he wants to bring a closer, family-style atmosphere to the NHLPA. "About halfway through I was so frustrated and pissed off," Columbus head coach Brad Larsen. "We reset and went back to work.""Wild year with the injuries," Jenner said. "You can learn a lot more about yourself and your teammates when you're going through tough times."
