Sheldon Keefe fired as Toronto Maple Leafs coach

The Toronto Maple Leafs have fired head coach Sheldon Keefe, the team announced Thursday.

"Sheldon Keefe has been relieved of his role as head coach," the team said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "The organization will immediately begin the search for a new head coach."

Keefe's Maple Leafs routinely performed well in the regular season, with a 212-97-40 record in 349 regular season games.

The team recorded three consecutive 100-point seasons with Keefe behind the bench, including a team-record 115-point season in 2021-22.

More to come.
