Sheldon Keefe's fate with the Toronto Maple Leafs officially decided
Toronto Maple Leafs Say Goodbye to Coach Sheldon Keefe
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a big change by firing their head coach, Sheldon Keefe. The news was shared this morning on the team's social media and detailed in a press release from General Manager Brad Treliving.
Keefe had a strong run with the Maple Leafs, leading them in 349 regular-season games with a record of 212 wins, 97 losses, and 40 ties. He helped the team score over 100 points in three seasons, including a record 115 points in the 2021-22 season.
Before coaching the Maple Leafs, Keefe also led their AHL team, the Toronto Marlies, to several top seasons and a championship win in 2018.
Despite these achievements, Keefe's contract, which had two more years on it, is ending early. This contract was renewed last year when Treliving decided to keep the coaching team stable.
However, less than a year later, changes are being made as the team looks for a new direction.
The search for a new head coach has already started, aiming to bring new energy and ideas to the team. More changes to the coaching staff are expected to be announced soon.
This is a big moment for the Leafs as they look to reshape their team. More news is expected as they work through these changes.
For Keefe, his strong track record suggests he will find a new coaching role soon, although it's not yet clear where he will go next. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
