Washington — Labor Secretary Marty Walsh is leaving the Biden administration to become the executive director for the NHL players' union, the first Cabinet secretary to leave the administration since President Biden took office.
The NHL Players' Association (NHLPA) announced Thursday that Walsh has been unanimously appointed to lead the association. The Boston native's departure had been expected for several weeks.
"I am honored to have been selected as the Executive Director of the NHLPA," Walsh said in a statement. "In accepting this offer I am committing to do all that I can to advocate on players' behalf. My years of experience in the labor movement and in public life has taught me that the job is never about me. It's about us. It's about the people we serve."
