Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe has announced his decision to leave the team due to personal reasons. Keefe, who took over as head coach in November 2019, led the Maple Leafs to multiple playoff appearances but faced challenges in advancing past the first round. In May 2024, following a first-round exit in the Stanley Cup playoffs, Keefe was relieved of his duties. He was subsequently hired as the head coach of the New Jersey Devils in May 2024. citeturn0search8

Keefe’s tenure with the Maple Leafs was marked by both achievements and challenges. Under his leadership, the team secured a 46–26–10 record in the 2023–2024 season, earning 102 points and the third seed in the Atlantic Division. Auston Matthews set a franchise record with 69 goals that season. However, despite regular-season success, the team struggled in the playoffs, leading to Keefe’s departure. citeturn0search9
