The current head of the NHLPA Marty Walsh has revealed why he left working for Joe Biden in favor of a job in the league.

NHLPA Director Reveals Why He Left Politics

Marty Walsh has had quite an interesting career. From the Mayor of Boston, to Secretary of Labor, to now currently working as the director of the NHLPA, Walsh has quite the impressive resume.

For Walsh to run the NHLPA, he had to abandon his position in the white house and politics as a whole to be the director of the NHLPA.

Walsh is working closely with players and figuring out what will happen in the next collective bargaining agreement. From a higher salary cap to the Arizona Coyotes being fixed, Walsh has his work cut out for him.

So why did he leave his job in politics? Walsh's reasoning is as follows:

«This job is more like being the mayor, you wake up in the morning, you're planning on a smooth day and there's an issue that pops, and that's the issue of the moment. And then when that issue's over, there's another issue that comes right behind it. And if there's a celebration on anything, that celebration's short-lived because you're on to the next issue.» - Walsh

So it seems pretty clear. This job gives Walsh far more control and it is something he is passionate about. Walsh was born and raised in Boston and is a long-time Bruins fan.
