TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS BASEBALL CLUB
TORONTO, ONTARIO
Intercounty Baseball League
Cosmos Sports and Entertainment is delighted to announce the sale of the Toronto Maple Leaf Baseball Team to the ownership team led by Keith Stein, including the son of Paul Godfrey, the former CEO and president of the Blue Jays, Rob Godfrey and some previous athletes.
Cosmos president Cary Kaplan played a crucial role in representing the Leafs for the deal of $1 million in capable hands of Kieth Stein and his group, who were standouts out of the other 40 interested bidders.
“Cosmos Sports did an excellent job in managing all aspects of selling the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team for the maximum amount. Without them, the deal would not have happened and I very strongly recommend their services to anyone who is hoping to sell their team.”
Ty Crawford
TML Director of Baseball Operations
“Cosmos Sports was essential in our purchase of the Leafs. They managed things extremely professionally and efficiently, and without their involvement, this transaction might not have been possible. We would use Cosmos again if we ever wanted to buy another sports team.”
Keith Stein
New TML Owner

KITCHENER PANTHERS BASEBALL CLUB
KITCHENER, ONTARIO
Intercounty Baseball League
Cosmos Sports & Entertainment is proud to announce the successful sale of the Kitchener Panthers, a storied franchise in the Intercounty Baseball League (IBL). This marks the second IBL team sold with Cosmos’ expertise, following the successful sale of the Toronto Maple Leafs Baseball Club in 2023 for more than $1 million.
David Schooley, CEO and co-owner of the KW Titans basketball team, along with his wife Katie, has acquired the Panthers in partnership with Sam, Naseem, and Shanif Hirani. Together, they have established Waterloo Region Sports and Entertainment, which will oversee both franchises. Shanif, a former Panther and Waterloo Collegiate Institute graduate, has been appointed the Panthers’ new general manager, succeeding Mike Boehmer.
Cosmos has worked closely with the Panthers organization to identify and vet potential buyers. Leveraging its extensive network and expertise in sports franchise sales, Cosmos facilitated the transaction that brings fresh leadership and vision to the team.
“We are incredibly grateful to Cosmos Sports for their expert guidance and professional management throughout the sale of the Kitchener Senior Panthers Baseball Club. Their team’s deep industry knowledge and strategic approach were invaluable in navigating the complex process. From the initial discussions to the final transaction, Cosmos Sports demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, ensuring the best possible outcome for all parties involved. Their dedication, transparency, and unwavering support made what could have been a challenging process seamless. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner to oversee this important transition.”
