The Toronto Board of Trade today confirmed that Glen Grunwald has accepted an offer from the New York Knicks basketball team and has tendered his resignation as President and CEO of Canada’s largest chamber of commerce.

“I love this city, I love this job and the Toronto Board of Trade is involved in great work,” says Grunwald, “but I could not turn down this offer to rejoin my old friend Isiah Thomas and the sport that I love.” (Grunwald, a former basketball executive with the Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets, was once drafted by the NBA but did not play due to injury.
