Brendan Shanahan out as Toronto Maple Leafs team president

  • The Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Thursday, 2025-05-22, that they would not renew Brendan Shanahan's contract as team president after 11 seasons.
  • Shanahan was dismissed following the team's second-round playoff exit against the reigning champions from Florida, after Toronto squandered a 2-0 series advantage.
  • Under Shanahan, the Leafs had regular-season success and signed the 'Core Four'—Matthews, Marner, Tavares, and Nylander—to long-term deals but achieved only two postseason series wins.
  • The team endured back-to-back 6-1 defeats at home during the series, which led to fans booing and throwing items onto the ice, while MLSE CEO Keith Pelley described Shanahan as one of hockey’s most highly regarded leaders.
  • This decision signals a desire by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment to introduce new leadership aimed at advancing the franchise's championship goals after a 58-year title drought.
