General Manager John Chayka announced that the Toronto Maple Leafs have fired head coach Craig Berube after two seasons. The Leafs finished the 2025-26 season 32-36-14, placing last in the Atlantic Division and 28th overall, and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Chayka said the club is making a change to pursue a new direction after the disappointing campaign. The dismissal launches an offseason coaching search as Toronto aims to stabilize its roster and return to postseason contention behind stars like Auston Matthews.
