The Marlies broke with tradition and played two different teams for last weekend’s games. They further broke with tradition by losing both of those home games, the last games played before Greg Moore took over as the new Head Coach of the team.
Moore steps in to some big shoes left by Sheldon Keefe who was coach for over four seasons; bringing the Marlies a Calder Cup — the AHL Championship, but perhaps more notably being the one directing the development of a long list of Maple Leafs prospects who have since made it on to the Leafs roster including Trevor Moore, Frederik Gauthier, Travis Dermott, Andreas Johnsson, and Kasperi Kapanen among several others, some just now getting their first look by the big club like Adam Brooks.
