A former top boss at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment exec appears to be off the hook from potential legal trouble after a pardon from Donald Trump. Tim Leiweke, the former MLSE CEO and president from 2013 to 2015, was pardoned by the American president on charges related to "conspiracy to restrain trade." Leiweke, who also worked with the Los Angeles Kings’ parent company AEG Entertainment Group, was working for his own company Oak View Group before stepping down as a result of the charges. Oak View Group manages Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, home to the NHL's Seattle Kraken. Initially signing a five-year deal to take the top job in Toronto, Leiweke quickly flipped his mind on that proposition.
