Summary
David Carle, the hotshot coach leading the University of Denver to two national titles in three years, shut down rumors he was headed to the Toronto Maple Leafs — turning down their formal interview. Known for passing on NHL opportunities before, Carle’s deep ties to Denver run deeper than coaching: he nearly played there in the late 2000s before a heart condition ended his pro dreams — yet still got drafted by Tampa Bay in the 7th round. His brother Matt also played in the Lightning system, and David’s rise from student assistant to head coach at Denver since 2019 has made him one of the most coveted coaches outside the NHL.
