Coaching record:

After a knee injury effectively ended his career in the 2004–05 AHL season, Keefe began to assist Lumber Kings head coach and general manager Kevin Abrams.

The Lumber Kings went 50–7–1–1 in the 2005–06 season and were ranked first overall in Canada before being upset in the second round of the playoffs by the Nepean Raiders.

Record:

During the 2005–06 season, Keefe’s then agent, David Frost, caused a wave of concern throughout the CJHL when he was found in an off limits area of an Ottawa arena.

He was also filmed by CBC’s The Fifth Estate which then ran a documentary showing Frost attending several Lumber Kings games, thus putting the league in a bad light considering the ongoing criminal investigation of a sexual nature against Frost at the time.

Family:

Danton and Keefe grew up near each other in Brampton, 10 miles northwest of Toronto. Frost began coaching them as part of a summer league team when they were kids.

Contract:

Sheldon Keefe has agreed to a two-year contract extension to remain coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Keefe would be signed through the 2023-24 season.

He will coach this season on the final year of his contract. The 41-year-old is 62-29-12 since replacing Mike Babcock during the 2019-20 season.
