On Sunday, shortly after the Toronto Marlies staged a third-period comeback win at the Coca Cola Coliseum, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced that they had hired Greg Moore to be the new head coach of the Marlies. After Sheldon Keefe was promoted to the top job with the Maple Leafs on November 20th, the Marlies were under the guidance of A. J. MacLean and Rob Davison, Keefe’s former assistants.
An American born in Lisbon, Maine, the right-shot winger Moore played hockey through the US high school system before joining the USNTDP U17, U18, and USHL teams.
