Sports industry executives say a search committee formed by Maple Leaf Sports to find its next chief executive is considering a former Montreal Canadien for the job.
Pierre Boivin, a highly regarded veteran of the sport industry, was the Canadiens president from 1999 until earlier this year. He also worked as chief executive of Bauer Nike Hockey and now works with Claridge, a Montreal firm that manages the interests of the billionaire Bronfman family.
Maple Leaf Sports is searching for a new leader because chief executive Richard Peddie will retire by year’s end.

Originally mentioned by HockeyHopeful, but it should probably have its own thread as it is quite a different topic then MLSE considering its own cable network.
