Ryan Leslie will serve as the Toronto Maple Leafs' new team host, starting with the 2025-26 NHL season. Leslie spent the past decade covering the NHL for Sportsnet and Hockey Night in Canada and most recently worked as the rinkside reporter for the Calgary Flames. His role will provide fans with closer access to the team through unique insights, breaking news, and original features across the Leafs' digital, broadcast, and social platforms. Leslie will be the primary voice and face for pre-game and post-game coverage. MLSE Chief Marketing Officer Shannon Hosford praised his knowledge, connection with players, and storytelling ability. Leslie is originally from Port Dover, Ontario.
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.
Our fans will benefit from his experience and his passion for bringing them closer to the action.
The opportunity to work with the Maple Leafs - an iconic franchise with a passionate fan base - is something I'm incredibly excited about.
I can't wait to share the stories of this team and help give fans a front-row seat to all the action.
