Why Maple Leafs Still Don't Have a Head Coach as 2 New Candidates Emerge
Toronto is widening its search after Craig Berube’s exit, with veteran coaches among the roughly 15 virtual interviews, Sportsnet reported.
- The Toronto Maple Leafs have conducted around 15 virtual interviews to replace former head coach Craig Berube, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. General Manager John Chayka stated the search remains thorough and wide.
- Among those interviewed were longtime NHL head coach Peter Laviolette and Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy, as reported by TSN's Darren Dreger. Both bring extensive coaching experience to the team's search.
- Laviolette, 61, boasts 846 NHL coaching wins, ranking seventh in league history. Roy, a 60-year-old Hockey Hall of Famer, transitioned into coaching after his playing career and a recent stint with the New York Islanders.
- Leafs management has also considered younger candidates, including University of Denver coach David Carle and Jussi Ahokas, who recently won a Memorial Cup title. Chayka has not made vast NHL experience an absolute requirement.
- No coaching announcement appears imminent as Chayka prepares to address media on Friday in Buffalo alongside amateur scouting director Mark Leach. The organization remains focused on returning to Stanley Cup playoff contention.
