The Toronto Maple Leafs fire head coach Craig Berube after two seasons behind the bench, bringing an end to a tenure that does not include a return to the playoffs. Multiple outlets report the move follows the team’s first missed playoffs in 10 years. CBC News says the dismissal is part of an organizational reset and a decision by new general manager John Chayka to pursue a fresh start, while also noting praise for Berube’s leadership and professionalism. Global News similarly reports Berube is dismissed after two seasons and highlights his past experience as a Stanley Cup-winning coach. The Athletic frames the firing as John Chayka’s first major move since taking the general manager role last week, suggesting it aligns with a broader leadership transition. Fox News adds that the coaching change occurs under new leadership following a season in which the team finishes last in its division, though other sources focus more on the missed-playoffs outcome and the reset rationale. The Leafs now begin the process of searching for a new head coach.
