5 MLSE Employees Fired


if it wasn't enough that the Leafs are out of the playoff and rudderless, still without a GM, and the Raptors are now at risk of missing the playoffs too, there's been a shake-up at the senior executive level.

Jim Edmands, director of sales and service, has resigned, following a discovery of ticket irregularities during the last week of March. Five other employees have been fired.

It's not clear what kind of "irregularities" occurred. If I were venture to guess it would be the discovery of employees supplying scalpers with tickets. Or maybe something more sinister like spiking the players' water bottles with tranquilizers.
