The 31-year-old from North Vancouver, B.C., who finished with seven goals and 34 assists for 41 points across 82 games, had a “real honest chat” with Leafs general manager Brad Treliving after the playoffs before having a string of heart-to-heart conversations. “A lot of reflection,” Rielly said. That discourse included wife Tessa Virtue, a three-time Olympic figure skating champion who’s keenly aware of high-pressure situations. “Wonderful resource,” said Rielly, known to keep comments about his private life to a minimum. “And I leaned on it.” [...] Rielly and Virtue became parents when they welcomed son McCormick in July 2024. Fatherhood offered new perspective, but was also an adjustment. “There’s an underlying part there that I think I struggled with last year a little bit, and it’s a work in progress,” Rielly said. “It’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, but when people say it changes your perspective on everything, they don’t tell you how. “Everyone feels it differently. I’m at a point now where I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.” He wants to feel similarly about what happens on the ice.
