The Toronto Maple Leafs reportedly have conducted virtual interviews with 15 candidates in their far-reaching search for a new head coach, including Patrick Roy and Peter Laviolette.
Details of the ongoing quest to replace Craig Berube were first reported by Sportsnet on Wednesday's edition of '32 Thoughts: The Podcast.'
Roy, 60, was fired as head coach of the New York Islanders with four games left in the season on April 5 and replaced by Peter DeBoer. The Hall of Fame goaltender compiled a 42-31-5 record in 2025-26 and is 130-92-24 as coach of the Colorado Avalanche (2013-16) and Islanders (2023-26).
Laviolette, 61, most recently coached the New York Rangers from 2023-25. He has won 846 regular-season games in 23 campaigns as a head coach with the New York Islanders (2001-03), Carolina Hurricanes (2003-09), Philadelphia Flyers (2009-14), Nashville Predators (2014-20), Washington Capitals (2020-23) and Rangers. He won a Stanley Cup with Carolina in 2006.
University of Denver coach David Carle also was mentioned on the podcast as a candidate for the Toronto job.
The Maple Leafs fired Berube after finishing last in the Atlantic Division and next-to-last in the Eastern Conference (32-36-14, 78 points).
