Maple Leafs name Robidas assistant director of player development

The Toronto Maple Leafs named former defenseman Stephane Robidas as assistant director of player development, the team announced Thursday.

Robidas, a veteran of 937 games and 15 seasons in the NHL, suited up for the Montreal Canadiens, Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, and Anaheim Ducks before ending his journey with the Maple Leafs.

Despite not being able to contribute on the ice for Toronto since 2015 due to multiple injuries, Robidas joined the Leafs' front office as a consultant last year when he was deemed physically unable to compete.
