Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by former MLSE President & CEO Richard Peddie for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, pressure, and the evolving landscape of running one of the biggest sports conglomerates in North America. Peddie offers perspective on Keith Pelley and the challenges that come with the role in today’s social media-driven world, while discussing the balance between winning, business success, and managing a passionate fan base.

The conversation also dives into ownership expectations, coaching contracts, GM hiring processes, and maintaining confidence during organizational change. Peddie reflects on his experience hiring John Ferguson Jr., weighs in on the scrutiny surrounding John Chayka, and shares insight into how ownership approaches major franchise decisions like rebuilding, retooling, and drafting first overall. Plus, he explains why he believes Pelley has been too visible publicly in recent weeks.
