Kyle Dubas, the accomplished ice hockey executive who previously served as the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has a background deeply rooted in the sport. Born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Dubas developed a passion for hockey from an early age. His father, a police officer, and his mother, who works as an ambulance call-taker and dispatcher, raised Dubas alongside his four sisters.
Hockey ran in the family, with Dubas' father interning with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and his grandfather, Walter Dubas coaching the team from 1960 to 1967. The influence of his father and grandfather undoubtedly played a significant role in shaping Dubas' love for the game.
However, Dubas' own playing career was cut short at the age of 14 due to concussions. Undeterred, he pursued his passion for hockey through different avenues. After graduating from Brock University with a degree in Sports Management, Dubas briefly worked as a player agent before finding his niche in team management.
