The Toronto Maple Leafs have fired coach Sheldon Keefe after another early playoff exit. General manager Brad Treliving announced the decision Thursday. The Maple Leafs losing to rival Boston made it four times in five years under Keefe they were eliminated in the first round. Toronto won just one playoff series since Keefe took over in late 2019.
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe speaks to the media at an end of season press conference in Toronto Monday, May 6, 2024. The Maple Leafs lost to the Boston Bruins in the first round of the Stanley Cup NHL hockey playoffs.
After the league’s 18th coaching change since the end of the 2022-23 season, the team said the search for Keefe’s replacement will begin immediately. Treliving and other members of management are expected to address reporters Friday about the coaching change and other end-of-season topics. Earlier this week, Keefe said that while he accepts responsibility for expectations not being met, his confidence in the group’s — and his own — ability to succeed was at an all-time high.
