Toronto Maple Leafs fire head coach Mike Babcock

This does not come as a huge surprise but on Wednesday, Toronto Maple Leafs President and Alternate Governor Brendan Shanahan announced that Mike Babcock has been fired from his head coaching duties.

In five seasons in Toronto, Babcock led the Maple Leafs to a 173-133-45 record, which includes a 9-10-4 record so far this season.
