Coverage varies in emphasis across outlets. ESPN and The Globe and Mail focus on the broader implications of Duggan's move within the context of the PWHL's expansion, while the New York Post highlights Duggan's Olympic credentials, framing her departure as a notable achievement for the PWHL. The Post also includes more personal details about Duggan, which the other two outlets do not emphasize as strongly.

No outlet has addressed the potential impact of Duggan's hiring on the perception of women's roles in professional sports management, which could provide valuable context for understanding the significance of her appointment in the PWHL.
