Sports And Leadership With Gord Stellick, Former GM Of The Toronto Maples Leafs And Hockey Personality

The Atypical Leader

Okay, this episode is not only for people who are atypical / neurodiverse but avid hockey fans! We had a great chat with Gord Stellick who was just 30 years old when he took the job of GM of the Toronto Maple Leaves, becoming the youngest GM in history. I have to admit that I don't know much (nothing really) about hockey, even though I grew up in Canada (shame on me) so I just sat back and let Rick chat with Gord.
- He's a notable author whose books include,

• '67: The Maple Leafs, Their Sensational Victory, and the End of an Empire
• Hockey Heartaches and Hal

- His current Broadcasting roles are:

• Blue And White Tonight: He currently serves as the host of the pre-game edition of “Blue And White Tonight” on The Fan 590 during Toronto Maple Leafs game nights.
• NHL Morning Skate: Stellick co-hosts the “NHL Morning Skate” drive time show with Scott Loughlin on SiriusXM Satellite Radio’s NHL Network Radio.
• Hockey Commentator: You can also catch him as a commentator for hockey games on TV1.

- He gives examples different types of leadership, how effective he thought they were and why
- And of course, he has a story or two about Harold Ballard!
Gord is a very smart, savvy, and fun guy to chat with, this is a good one! And I learned something about hockey, go figure.
