Toronto’s hockey organization announced Monday they will be separating from general manager Brad Treliving following almost three years with the franchise.
Treliving assumed his position in May 2023. Despite achieving strong standings in his first two seasons, which included capturing first place in 2024-25, the team has struggled significantly this year and is no longer in playoff consideration.
During the previous campaign, Toronto successfully advanced past the first round of playoffs by defeating the Ottawa Senators. However, this season finds the team sitting 14th among 16 Eastern Conference squads.
Keith Pelley, president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, released a statement explaining the decision. “Throughout the course of this season, there has been deep analysis into both the current state of the Maple Leafs organization and the direction needed to achieve the ultimate goal of delivering a Stanley Cup championship to the city,” Pelley stated. “Brad Treliving is a man that we all have deep respect and appreciation for, both as a hockey executive and as a person, but it was determined that the club must chart a new course under different leadership.”
Pelley continued: “The organization is grateful for all that Brad has contributed in his nearly three years with the Maple Leafs and we wish him and his family the very best.”
Under Treliving’s management, the team compiled a 129-82-27 record during regular season play and went 10-10-0 in postseason games throughout his time with the organization.
