Ottawa resident and former NHL executive Anthony LeBlanc is set to take over as President of Business Operations for Senators Sports and Entertainment.
Sens' Owner Eugene Melnyk announced the hire on Monday, saying LeBlanc will fill “a necessary and vital business and revenue role in the Ottawa Senators' front office.”
He is expected to play an instrumental role in helping the Ottawa Senators return to full operational capacity when it is safe to welcome back its fans, community partners and employees.
“Having been a diehard Senators fan since the Sens rejoined the league, this opportunity is truly an honour,” says LeBlanc. “I look forward to working closely with the entire staff as we prepare for an exciting chapter in the history of the Senators. I am confident that my experience in the NHL, as well as my sales and marketing background in the technology sector, will be put to good use here in the National Capital Region.”
LeBlanc previously served as President, Chief Executive Officer, Co-owner and Alternate Governor of the Arizona Coyotes from 2013 until 2017. Before his career in the sports industry, he served in several capacities with Research in Motion (RIM) / BlackBerry from 2000 to 2008, including Vice President of Global Sales.
