Labor Secretary Marty Walsh is expected to resign to become executive director of the National Hockey League Players’ Association — making him the first member of President Biden’s Cabinet to leave, sources told The Post on Tuesday.

Walsh’s looming departure, a widespread rumor in Washington, DC, in recent days, was first reported by hockey news website Daily Faceoff.

Neither the White House nor the Labor Department responded to The Post’s calls for comment.

The NHLPA has been searching for a replacement for current director Donald Fehr, who has headed the union since 2010.

Walsh, 55, is negotiating an NHLPA contract that includes a $3 million annual salary — up from his current $221,400 paycheck.
