Keith Pelley, the new president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, shares his excitement about overseeing the Leafs, Raptors, Argos, Toronto FC, and Marlies. Pelley reminisces about his late father and his connection to the Leafs, and expresses his joy in running his childhood teams.

Keith Pelley brought a photo of his late father Walter with him when he checked out Scotiabank Arena in his new role as president and chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.

Spend any time with Pelley and you quickly learn he comes with a testing handshake and boundless energy. Pelley’s wife Joan and 17-year-old daughter Hope are still in London, because of school commitments. Their 21-year-old son Jason is on the golf team at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut. The Raptors are rebuilding and TFC needs more goal-scoring, he says. As for the Leafs, Pelley is optimistic and excited about the playoffs.
