MLSE CEO Keith Pelley Breaks Silence After Moving on From President Brendan Shanahan
- Keith Pelley, CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, announced on May 23, 2025, that Brendan Shanahan's contract as Toronto Maple Leafs president will not be renewed.
- This decision followed the Leafs' disappointing 6-1 loss in a winner-take-all Game 7 against the Florida Panthers, marking a second consecutive poor home showing and playoff struggles under Shanahan.
- Shanahan led the team for 11 seasons, overseeing a rebuild that brought offensive stars like Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, but the club won only two of 11 post-season series and suffered six straight Game 7 losses.
- Pelley stressed that simply reaching the playoffs is not enough, emphasizing the team's commitment to progressing towards capturing the Stanley Cup. He also described pressure as a privilege and highlighted the organization's duty to its fans to secure championships.
- With Shanahan's role remaining vacant, Pelley expressed utmost confidence in GM Brad Treliving and coach Craig Berube, signaling a methodical approach to future changes while prioritizing the Leafs’ goal of winning the Stanley Cup.
