Summary
- Jay Woodcroft interviewed for Toronto Maple Leafs head coach position.

Jay Woodcroft is currently interviewing for the Toronto Maple Leafs' head coaching vacancy, according to reports.
Woodcroft recently joined the Anaheim Ducks as an assistant coach, marking his return to the NHL after being fired by the Edmonton Oilers early in the 2023-24 season. During his tenure with the Oilers, the Toronto native compiled an impressive 79-41-13 record across two-plus seasons.
The Maple Leafs are conducting a comprehensive search, with sources indicating they have arranged meetings with 20 potential candidates. This extensive process follows the dismissal of head coach Craig Berube on May 13, after the team failed to extend its nine-year playoff streak. The organization also saw changes in its front office earlier in March with the arrival of new personnel.
