Keefe: Toronto has enough talent for quick progressBy DAVID BRANDT

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) New Toronto Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe spent a decent chunk of a 30-minute morning skate on Thursday teaching instead of running drills.

There’s a lot for his new team to learn and not much time to do it.

The 39-year-old Keefe is now in charge of the Maple Leafs after veteran coach Mike Babcock was fired Wednesday with the team mired in a six-game losing streak.

Keefe was officially introduced Thursday morning as the 31st head coach in Maple Leafs history. He’s got a long history with general manager Kyle Dupas, who hopes Keefe is the right choice to help Toronto bounce back from a disappointing 9-10-4 start.
