The Toronto Maple Leafs have a new man in charge of scouting.
The team announced it hired Mark Leach as the new director of amateur scouting on Thursday.
Leach replaces Wes Clark, who departed the Maple Leafs after six seasons and joined former Toronto GM Kyle Dubas with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Leach joins the Maple Leafs after he spent 11 seasons with the Dallas Stars as part of the amateur scouting staff.
The 62-year-old started his career as an amateur scout with the Detroit Red Wings in 1994. During his 20 seasons in Detroit, he helped put together rosters that would win four Stanley Cups.
