TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs continued to reshape their front office Monday, hiring Judd Brackett as assistant general manager and Freddie Hamilton as chief of staff.
Brackett, who spent the last five seasons as the Minnesota Wild’s director of amateur scouting after 12 years with the Vancouver Canucks organization, will oversee amateur and professional player evaluation for Toronto.
Hamilton, a former NHL forward, joins after earning an MBA from Yale University and working in private equity.
The hires are the latest moves under new general manager John Chayka, who was brought in last month alongside senior executive adviser Mats Sundin as part of an organizational overhaul. Toronto also fired head coach Craig Berube last month after a disappointing 2025-26 season.
