Reagan Carey

Reagan Carey previously served as USA Hockey’s director of women’s ice hockey and general manager of the US National Women’s Team, highlighted by a gold medal victory at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Carey's career reflects a common thread of leading teams to new heights by creating meaningful cultures and crafting a clear vision for winning. A decade of work with the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and the NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers with a focus on sports development, performance, and marketing led to her opportunity with USA Hockey where she served from 2010-18. Her leadership helped produce a record number of World Championship victories for the women’s program and achieved an unprecedented stretch of four straight undefeated seasons in IIHF competition across the U18 Women’s National Team and US Women’s National Team. Her gold medal resume includes U18 titles in 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018; World Championship wins in 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017; and the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Carey has been applying her skills and experience to various consulting roles and speaking events in both the sports and corporate world with a focus on leadership, performance, alignment, and culture. Additionally, she has been a member of the Maine Girls & Women in Sports committee helping generate content, programming, and opportunities for girls and women in sports. Carey was a two-sport athlete, captaining both the ice hockey and volleyball teams during her time at Colby College where she graduated with a sociology degree in 2001. She is a proud 2010 recipient of the school’s Carl Nelson Sports Achievement Award, and in 2018 was inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame.

Carey is the third commissioner in PHF history, succeeding Tyler Tumminia, who served in the role on an interim basis during the league’s sixth season and permanently throughout season seven. The PHF has made great strides over the past 18 months by establishing a joint venture ownership model, generating landmark broadcast and corporate partnerships, drawing record digital viewership, and redefining its brand based on the singular skills of its athletes. In January, the PHF’s board of governors announced a commitment to invest more than $25 million over the next three years to directly enhance the player experience by providing competitive compensation and benefits that will continue to distinguish the PHF as a leader among professional sports leagues.
