The Toronto Maple Leafs name Craig Berube as their new head coach
The Toronto Maple Leafs organization announced that they've named Craig Berube as their new head coach.
Following an extensive search for a replacement to Sheldon Keefe, who was let go by the Leafs management after their tough elimination in the first round against the Boston Bruins, the Leafs have officially found their new head coach.
In breaking news, we have learned that Craig Berube was hired by the Toronto Maple Leafs to lead the team to a Stanley Cup.
It was already widely believed that Berube would get the job, but it is now confirmed.
Back in January, Berube mentionned in a podcast that it would be an honour to coach the Leafs:
"It'd be an honor to coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs if that ever happened. Like I said, it's the best hockey market in the world and a great organization that does everything they can to try to win."
Berube comes in Toronto with one Stanley Cup ring, that he earned back in 2019 with the St. Louis Blues. That experience will surely come in handy as the Leafs look to accomplish their ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup.
