- On Friday, Seattle Torrent General Manager Meghan Turner announced that head coach Steve O'Rourke has departed the Professional Women's Hockey League franchise following its inaugural last-place season.
- The 8-1-5-16 inaugural season saw the Torrent struggle significantly, averaging 2.1 goals per game while allowing a league-high 92 goals against.
- Before joining the Torrent, the 51-year-old O'Rourke coached the Ontario Hockey League's Oshawa Generals, building on a playing career with the Western Hockey League's Tri-City Americans.
- The organization will begin searching for a new head coach immediately, Turner said, to fill the vacancy created by O'Rourke's departure.
- As the PWHL expands to 12 teams, speculation regarding O'Rourke's replacement centers on Seattle Kraken assistant coach Jessica Campbell, who is exploring other opportunities.
