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. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search8<\/p>\n

Keefe’s tenure with the Maple Leafs was marked by both achievements and challenges. Under his leadership, the team secured a 46\u201326\u201310 record in the 2023\u20132024 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. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search9\ue201<\/p>\n

The Maple Leafs appointed Craig Berube as the new head coach in May 2024. Under Berube’s guidance, the team has shown promise in the current season, holding a 38\u201320\u20133 record as of March 8, 2025. Auston Matthews continues to be a key player, serving as the team’s captain since August 2024. \ue200cite\ue202turn0search12\ue201<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keefe’s decision to leave the Maple Leafs and his subsequent hiring by the Devils reflect the dynamic nature of coaching positions in professional sports. Fans and analysts will be keenly observing how both teams perform under their new leadership in the coming seasons.<\/p>\n
