Maple Leafs Release Statement Regarding Controversial Hire


The Toronto Maple Leafs have decided they are headed in another direction as the team has back-tracked on hiring Dusty Imoo as their goalie coach for the AHL's Toronto Marlies. Their affiliate will now find another candidate to fill the vacant position. 

Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan released this statement on the decision:

Imoo had a history on social media the Maple Leafs wanted no part of and apparently weren't aware of weeks ago. The optics ended up looking terrible on the team considering their values they work by and Shanahan and company decided this was the best thing to do. 

Imoo is out, as quickly as he came in.
