Maple Leafs hire familiar face as new team host

The Toronto Maple Leafs have hired a familiar face to be their new team host.

Ryan Leslie has spent the past decade covering the NHL for Sportsnet and Hockey Night in Canada and was most recently the rinkside reporter for the Calgary Flames. Now, he is moving his talents from Alberta to Ontario as the Maple Leafs' new team host.

“Ryan’s knowledge of the game, his ability to connect with players and coaches, and his talent for telling the stories that matter make him an incredible addition to our Maple Leafs content team,” said MLSE Chief Marketing Officer Shannon Hosford, via the team's press release.
