According to a report by The Athletic’s James Mirtle from earlier today, former Maple Leafs Director of Sports Science and Performance, Dr Jeremy Bettle, has left the organization after four seasons. The specifics behind this parting of ways have yet to be determined.
Director of sports science and performance Jeremy Bettle has left the Leafs organization. No word yet but I imagine he landed a job with a team elsewhere. Toronto hired him from NBA's Nets.
