Tampa Bay Lightning GM Lands Big Gigs - The Hockey News
Tampa Bay Lightning GM Julien BriseBois will be joining Team Canada for their upcoming events.
thehockeynews.comI can’t browse the latest news right this moment, but here’s what’s publicly known about Julien BriseBois in recent months based on reliable outlets:
- There were reports in April 2026 that the Toronto Maple Leafs tried to interview BriseBois for their GM vacancy, but the Tampa Bay Lightning blocked the interview. This suggests ongoing interest from other NHL teams in BriseBois’s leadership, but no move occurred at that time [source coverage from The Hockey News and Yardbarker citing 32 Thoughts/insiders].[1][3]
- BriseBois previously helped guide the Lightning to back-to-back Stanley Cups (2020, 2021) and has been a long-tenured executive in Tampa Bay, including his prior roles in the organization before becoming GM in 2018-19.[4][1]
- In July 2024, there were reports that BriseBois would take on broader responsibilities with Hockey Canada in an ambassadorial/administrative capacity, indicating his profile extends beyond the Lightning.[2]
