Brian Burke, brought in as the Flames’ president of hockey operations last September, announced Treliving’s hiring at a press conference Monday. Treliving replaces Jay Feaster, who was fired as the team’s general manager back in December. According to Burke, Treliving was the only candidate who was interviewed for the job, and he will receive full autonomy to run the team as he sees fit. Burke will act as mentor and sounding board, and the two anticipate a collaborative relationship.

Treliving, a native of Penticton, B.C., and the only candidate Burke interviewed for the role, had spent the previous seven seasons as the assistant GM for the Coyotes. He was responsible for the day-to-day operations of Phoenix's hockey operations department and served as GM of the Coyotes' American Hockey League affiliate, the Portland Pirates.
