Leafs And Zurich Reach Development Agreement

Brian Burke, President and General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced  that the Toronto Maple Leafs have finalized a development agreement with the Zurich Lions of the Swiss Elite League.

‘We have a real solid two-way relationship with the Mannheim Eagles of the German Elite League and we are looking for the same results by adding Zurich as well,” said Burke. “We’ve been able to exchange ideas in all areas of the game. The experience for the participating players and coaches over the past three years has been invaluable.”
