John Tavares

John Tavares was handed the captaincy in October 2019 as the 25th leader in the history of the Leafs. Tavares was acquired by the Leafs in July 2018.

He rejected the Sharks' offer of $91 million to play for his hometown team. The Toronto Maple Leafs signed him to a seven-year contract worth $77 million.

The Mississauga native started playing in a major league in the Ontario Hockey League at age 14. Later, the Islanders picked him in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He remained on the team as captain for five seasons out of nine in total.

After joining the Leafs in 2018, the 32-year-old debuted in the NHL with the Canadiens as his opponent. In his first match, he scored his debut goal in a 3-2 overtime win. A few days later, he made his first hat trick for his current club.

The First NHL All-Star team of 2015 has scored 427 goals and 548 assists in 14 NHL seasons.

Toronto Maple Leafs Alternate Captain

Mitch Marner, Auston Mattews, Jake Muzzin, and Morgan Rielly are assigned to cover the leader's responsibility, in case he fails to enter the rink for any reason.

Marner was cited as the alternate in the 2019–2020 season, the same as Auston Matthews. Similarly, Muzzin is the latest pick, while Rielly was selected in the 2016–2017 seasons.

Morgan, the Canadian athlete, joined the NHL in 2012 as the Leafs' first-round draft pick. He plays left defense. Another athlete in the same position, Muzzin, signed with the Kings in 2010 as a free agent.

San Ramon native Matthews is the first player to score three plus-one goals in the history of a modern ice skater's debut match in the NHL. To date, he has scored 299 goals for the Leafs with 243 assists.

Likewise, the last alternate leader, Marner, was acquired by the Leafs in the 2015 Entry Draft. A fan of the team since childhood played seven seasons with the Leafs and scored 168 goals.

Toronto Maple Leafs coach is Sheldon Keefe. Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas has been with the team since May 2018.

Keefe was recruited as the 40th head mentor of the team on November 20, 2019, after Mike Babcock. He became the youngest head mentor among the 32 teams in the NHL. Likewise, Dubas is the 17th general manager of the NHL franchise.

Sheldon Keefe

Sheldon started his coaching career in 2006 and ended up being the head mentor of the Toronto Maples in 2019. Before that, he played in the AHL.

The 42-year-old's debut coaching team is the Pembroke Lumber Kings, a junior hockey team that he bought in 2003. He wouldn't have thought of being a coach unless he faced a knee injury in 2004.

In December 2012, he continued his position with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, followed by the Toronto Marlies in 2015.

Before he retired from his playing career in 2004, the Brampton native played in the American Hockey League with the Utah Grizzlies. The Tampa Bay Lightning was the last team he played for in the NHL in 2003.

The Lightning recruited him for the team in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. He previously played in the Ontario Hockey League for three seasons. In his NHL playing career, the athlete scored 12 goals and 12 assists in three seasons.

Kyle Dubas

Kyle Dubas was appointed general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs on May 11, 2018.

Dubas belongs to Sault Ste. Marie. He was born on November 29, 1985. His father was a police officer and an intern for the junior ice hockey team, the Sault Ste.Marie Greyhounds.

Not only that, his grandfather, Walter Dubas, was the coach until 1967. Looking at the parents, Dubas was addicted to ice hockey. Unfortunately, he stopped playing at the age of 14 due to constipation.

Yet that didn't lessen his passion for sports. He enrolled at Brock University, where he chose sports management as his major subject. Right after graduation, the 37-year-old hockey executive started his career as a sports agent.

Dubas was the youngest among the sports agents at the time. Later in 2011, he became the GM of his hometown junior team.

After associating with the Greyhounds for four years, he joined the Leafs in July 2014. At the time, he was hired as an assistant general manager.
