A man who became president of the merged CHL, and led it through seven years of steady growth and success – that's beyond impressive.

It's worth noting, too, that the Central League has shrunk from 17 teams when Treliving left to 10 teams today. Apparently he was not an easy man to replace.
Agreed. That is pretty impressive.

I'm thinking he receives a lot of good business advice from his father, something that won't hurt in his new tenure as our GM either.

I like this hire.
