Habs fan here I simply love the fact that he took time out of this perticular day to do this for the leafs nation.

A nice message from him. All the best Sheldon!

Classy move by Keefe. For sure it was a dream come true for a local guy to coach the Leafs. You could feel his passion and desire every time he spoke. Good luck in the next phase!

Always liked you Keefe. Sorry to see you go. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Hey Sheldon, lifetime fan here (I’m 70 now). It’s my considered opinion that control over a variety of players and egos was an uphill battle for you. I don’t think all of the core 5 players gave it their all for you, however I don’t know their motivations. You have had a wonderful record with both the Marlies and regular season Leafs, CONGRATULATIONS, you stepped into the lions den and succeeded. Wishing you more success, I’m SURE it will follow you !!!
