Peter McLoughlin has been named President of the Seattle Seahawks, Sounders FC and First & Goal Inc.

McLoughlin replaces Tod Leiweke, who announced in July that he was leaving the company for a CEO position and minority ownership stake in the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning.

Like Leiweke, who oversaw the search for his replacement, McLoughlin comes to the Seahawks from the NHL, having served as the CEO of the St. Louis Blues Enterprises, where in addition to the hockey club, he oversaw business operations at the Scottrade Center.

Prior to joining the Blues, McLoughlin worked in various executive-level positions over 21 with Anheuser-Busch. McLoughlin also spent six years at NBC Sports, his first job after graduation from Harvard University in 1979.
