> Hefford said the league has conducted reviews in all six league markets throughout the season to ensure a level of professionalism. She would not go into specifics of the reviews or what was uncovered in Minnesota, beyond “that a change needed to be made.”
> No players reached by The Athletic on Friday were willing to comment on the record about the situation. One player, on the condition of anonymity, called Darwitz an “incredible support system” over the course of a “really tough” season. “She was a terrific advocate, fantastic voice of reason and fair boss,” the player said. “I’m incredibly shocked she’s leaving because frankly, I can’t imagine anyone else filling her shoes.”
