Gord Stellick (born May 26, 1957 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian sports broadcaster and former NHL executive. Stellick currently hosts The Fan 590 Morning Show (with Don Landry), and also appears on Hockey Central on Rogers Sportsnet.
Stellick was the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs from April 1988 until August 1989. At the age of 32, he was the youngest GM in NHL history. He resigned on August 11, 1989, citing interference from Maple Leaf's owner Harold Ballard.[1] Stellick was then hired by the New York Rangers as an assistant GM, but was fired in 1991.[2][3] Stellick was once co-owner of the Toronto Beaches Jr. A lacrosse team. Stellick can be seen on tv as a commentator for hockey games.
Stellick co-wrote, with Damien Cox, the book '67: The Maple Leafs, Their Sensational Victory and the End of an Empire, about the last season the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup.[4]
