According to Bell, the deal will close in mid-2025, and Rogers, which already owned 37.5% of Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment, now has a part valued at $9.3 billion. The communications company also owns the Toronto Blue Jays, valued at $2.27 billion.
With new owners often come big changes: whether in infrastructure or hockey operations, it could also create a significant gap with other organizations, possibly marking an era of change in Toronto, which already started when Kyle Dubas was fired as general manager.
