Maple Leafs introduce Brendan Shanahan as team president

Published January 08, 2015

Brendan Shanahan is officially on the job in the Toronto Maple Leafs' front office.

The Hockey Hall of Famer was introduced as Toronto's new president on Monday and says he's eager to get to work learning about the organization, which missed the playoffs after a late-season collapse.

The 45-year-old Toronto native will oversee all team operations for the franchise. Shanahan had been working as the head of the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

He won three Stanley Cups and played for five teams over his long playing career.

Tim Leiweke, president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, says he knew he wanted a "hockey guy" to lead the Leafs' front office.
