Sheldon Keefe

Sheldon Keefe is the head coach of the New Jersey Devils, a job Keefe took in May 2024 after five seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Keefe reached the playoffs in all five of those Toronto seasons but won only one series, and Toronto fired Keefe in May 2024 following a first-round loss to Boston. The Devils missed the playoffs in 2025-26 and kept Keefe anyway, with two years left on Keefe's contract.
