The Toronto Maple Leafs have fired head coach Sheldon Keefe.
The organization announced the decision in a statement on Thursday morning saying they will start looking for a new head coach immediately.
“Decisions regarding the rest of the coaching staff will follow,” said the statement.
“Today’s decision was difficult. Sheldon is an excellent coach and a great man; however, we decided we needed a new voice to help the team push through to reach our ultimate goal,” said Leafs General Manager Brad Treliving.
The Leafs were eliminated from the NHL playoffs last Saturday after a Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins in overtime.
More to come.
