Darwitz, a three-time Olympic medallist with the U.S. national team and member of the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame, was hired in September 2023.
She assembled the Minnesota team that captured the inaugural Walter Cup in a five-game series with Boston.
The PWHL, which owns all six teams in the league, said in a statement that there is no immediate timeline for naming a new general manager.
The league says Minnesota head coach Ken Klee and his staff will make the team’s player selections in Monday’s PWHL draft.
“We appreciate all that Natalie has done for PWHL Minnesota in the league’s inaugural season and her contributions to the team’s championship success. We wish her the best moving forward,” said PWHL senior vice-president of hockey operations director Jayna Hefford.
