Sheldon Keefe is being hired as the coach of the New Jersey Devils, less than two weeks after he was fired by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Keefe is the Devils' fifth coach since 2019 and third since March. That led the Leafs to seek a new voice and hire Stanley Cup-winning coach Craig Berube. "I was thrilled when he agreed to be a part of what we are building here," said Fitzgerald, who played with the Maple Leafs from 2002 to 2004. Keefe's win total (212) ranks fifth in Maple Leafs history while his .665 winning percentage (212-97-40) is first among all head coaches in franchise history.
