Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment has settled on Keith Pelley, chief executive of golf's DP World Tour and former president of Rogers Media, as its new president and CEO, according to a Canadian Press source.
The source was granted anonymity because the formal announcement has yet to be made. The appointment was first reported by TSN.
MLSE declined comment on the new appointment. Pelley succeeds Michael Friisdahl, who left in February 2022 to take over as executive chairman of Signature Aviation, a British-based multinational aviation services company.
Friisdahl had been in charge since December 2015. Chief financial officer Cynthia Devine has served as MLSE's interim president and CEO during the search for Friisdahl's successor.
