EDMONTON, AB - Newly-appointed Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club President of Business Operations and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Tom Anselmi has watched his projects grow from the ground up to achieve new heights.
During a 17-year stay with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE), a key role in developing the Air Canada Centre for the Etobicoke, Ontario native included a branching out from the venue to further engage fans and create buzz around the organization's many clubs that include the Maple Leafs, Blue Jays, Toronto FC, and the Toronto Raptors.
The highly-publicized Raptors, bolstered by the thousands who've occupied 'Jurassic Park' in the streets of downtown Toronto throughout the NBA Playoffs, will watch on with anticipation tonight as the league's only Canadian side goes for its first championship in franchise history tonight at home with a 3-1 series lead on the Golden State Warriors.
