Sheldon Keefe, now head coach of the New Jersey Devils, is finding solace in his new role after his stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs. With a smaller media presence in New Jersey, he enjoys more personal time, allowing him to focus on coaching the team, which is poised for a playoff run.
As he prepares to return to Toronto for the first time as an opposing coach, Keefe reflects on the challenges of balancing family life with his career. His family remains in Toronto, making travel and time management crucial. Keefe's experience in Toronto, where he led the team to the postseason but fell short of a Stanley Cup, shapes his current coaching philosophy.
