Maple Leafs Hire Jim Hiller as New Head Coach
The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Jim Hiller as their new head coach on Wednesday. He will replace Craig Berube, who was fired by new Maple Leafs general manager John Chayka after the team failed to make the postseason for the first time in 10 years. Hiller was let go by the Los Angeles Kings on March 1 after three seasons. He posted a 93-58-24 record in 175 games during his first head-coaching stint in the NHL. Hiller, who turned 57 in May, has extensive experience as an assistant coach, having worked for several franchises. The Maple Leafs have the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft and are expected to improve significantly under Hiller after finishing second-to-last in the Eastern Conference with a 32-36-14 record in 2025-26.
