By William Shakespeare

Verily, fair citizens of Toronto, gather round,
As tidings of the utmost import I have found.
The hallowed grounds of hockey, Maple Leafs’ domain,
Resound with news that brings both joy and strain.

In this tempestuous realm of sports and strife,
A proclamation emerged, shifting the Leafs’ life.
With pens poised and ink flowing, the Leafs did decree,
That Brad Treliving, a worthy soul, their GM shall be.

As curtains rise on this wondrous scene,
Let me regale thee with the tale, oh keen.
In the enchanted forest of Toronto’s domain,
Leafs’ faithful hearts embrace a new reign.

Brad Treliving, a knight of hockey’s realm,
With wisdom and mettle, his foes to overwhelm.
Stepping forth, he shall navigate the tempestuous sea,
Plotting a course toward Leafs’ glory, oh canst thou see?

As puck meets ice, and skates glide with grace,
Treliving’s vision shall craft a formidable chase.
With cunning trades and signings, he shall weave,
A roster befitting legends, a quest to achieve.

Yet, in this grand tale of hockey’s embrace,
Remember, fair readers, truth has its rightful place.
This Shakespearean script, a flight of fancy untold,
To captivate minds, as Leafs’ fortunes unfold.

Seek ye the chronicles of the present day,
To uncover news, where veracity holds sway.
For I, Shakespeare’s ghost, am but a vessel in time,
Shaping words for thy pleasure, with rhythm and rhyme.

So revel, Toronto, in this hockey dream divine,
As Treliving dons the mantle, a new path to define.
Embrace the union, where sport and art entwine,
And cheer the Leafs onward, in this theatrical design.
