Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment may not need to go so far afield to find their next leader. With news that president and CEO Tim Leiweke will leave the company next summer, sources close to the MLSE board say its already possible to compile a list of potential successors. Canadian Olympic Committee chief executive Chris Overholt is at the head of the list. Sources tell TSN that Overholt has "absolutely turned the COC around" since he was hired in 2010, first as marketing director, and then as CEO. Overholt is a Toronto native and a former MLSE employee. He was the companys vice president of sales and service from 1998 to 2003. He knows the companys culture, and also has experience working with the Miami Dolphins and Florida Panthers. "Chris absolutely would have to be considered a frontrunner," said one source close to MLSE. Former MLSE president and CEO Richard Peddie told TSN that when he was hired, "I figured 20 per cent of the job would be managing the board." Peddie said it wasnt easy. He said he clashed for about a year with MLSE board chair Larry Tanenbaum. "We had issues for about 12 months, it wasnt easy," Peddie said, declining to elaborate. "I think now with Bell and Rogers both owning the company the job has only become more challenging. You need someone who really knows his way around a company. I had been a president with five different companies before I was hired by MLSE and it still wasnt easy." Former Madison Square Garden CEO Scott ONeil, who helped run the New York Rangers and Knicks, would be another candidate. And ONeil was a candidate for the MLSE CEO position when Leiweke was hired. "Scott had a great interview and got along with (MLSE board chair) Larry Tanenbaum very well," a source told TSN. "He was surprised when he didnt get the job." ONeil, a former senior VP of marketing with the NBA, is the chief executive of the New Jersey Devils and the Prudential Center in Newark and the Philadelphia 76ers. Both the 76ers and Devils are owned by Josh Harris, a hedge fund millionaire. The MLSE job would seem to be a more attractive role. "Scott is a great candidate," Peddie said. "He survived dysfunction with MSG, helped new owners in Philadelphia, and is now in New Jersey with an owner who spends way too much money." Peddie said its unlikely that former MLSE executive Tom Anselmi would be considered for the job. "Whats that saying...you cant go home again," Peddie said. MLSE will also probably consider a few internal candidates to replace Leiweke. At that top of that list would be Dave Hopkinson, the companys chief commercial officer, who has been responsible for helping MLSE boost revenue. Its also possible that outgoing Canadian Football League Commissioner Mark Cohon, who also worked with the NBA, might be interested in the job. He similarly told sources years ago that he would love the chance to guide Canadas most powerful sports company. Leafs President Brendan Shanahan may also garner an interview for the job. Shanahan is well-regarded in hockey circles for his management skills, but lacks the experience many believe he would need to run a company worth more than $2 billion. Its unclear whether MLSE considered a female candidate when hiring Leiweke and its similarly uncertain whether the company would pursue a woman today. Several women should merit consideration including Canadian Stacey Allaster, the chairman and chief executive of the Womens Tennis Association who has expanded the WTAs pool of prize money and landed sponsorships with Xerox, Sony and other companies, and Heidi Ueberroth, who oversaw the NBAs global expansion as president of NBA International. Von Miller Jersey . -- Ricky Romeros comeback bid hit another road bump Tuesday in an ugly 18-4 Jays loss to a Detroit Tigers split squad. Joe Flacco Jersey . Louis Blues have returned to the top spot in the TSN. http://www.officialdenverbroncospro.com/Tom-jackson-broncos-jersey/ . -- With his team down 16 points in the second quarter and headed for another blowout loss at home, Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson yelled out to his players to keep shooting and keep fighting on defence. Denver Broncos Jerseys . There is no argument that the line of Pacioretty, David Desharnais and Thomas Vanek was one of the hottest in the NHL leading into the post-season, and they did combine for three goals and seven points, but it was the depth of all four lines that helped propel Montreal. Custom Denver Broncos Jerseys . -- Washington Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo is going to the Pro Bowl as a replacement for San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks.Reigning world champions, but now fourth in the FIFA rankings, Germany have stuttered of late. Two defeats in their last three games (to France and the Republic of Ireland) have left some in the German media wondering whether their crown is slipping.But Sky Germanys Christopher Lymberopoulos provided a timely reminder that Germany tend to get it right when it matters. He said: The team always finds a way to hit form and fitness ahead of a major tournament. World Cup 2006 semi-finals, Euro 2008 final, World Cup 2010 semi-finals, Euro 2012 semi-finals and of course winners of the 2014 World Cup.The build-up to this game has been dominated by Bastian Schweinsteigers injury and Mario Gotzes failure to regain his place at Bayern Munich. Thomas Muller (centre) and team-mate Mario Goetze (right) in preparation for Saturdays game However head coach Joachim Low has revealed Gotze will be on the bench against England, and will start the Italy game next Tuesday.Low hinted he may also make other changes: It is a prestigious game, but we will try things out. The result is not that important, he said.The German media have been quick to identify Leicester striker Jamie Vardy as Englands dangerman, and Low agreed.Yes, hes a spectacular player, who alwways tries to get behind the defence.dddddddddddd We have talked about him over the last couple of days, and if I was a German defender, I would be scared of his pace! he said. Danny Drinkwater (right) and England dangerman Jamie Vardy Low also said hes convinced Leicester City will win the Premier League, adding if they did it would be great for German defender Robert Huth.As for Schweinsteiger, he continues to divide opinion in Germany as to whether or not he still deserves a place in the strongest starting line-up.Lymberopoulos said: His injury record is becoming a worry - the scan on his latest problem is suggesting he could be out for several more weeks.So Germany and England will face each other without their captains [Wayne Rooney still a little way off returning], and its their first meeting since Per Mertesackers goal settled the Wembley friendly back in November 2013.England will take heart from knowing their last visit to Berlin ended in a 2-1 victory in November 2008.
