## Resource

Toronto Maple Leafs shock fans by hiring Jim Hiller as head coach — a surprise pick with deep ties to the organization and a proven playoff track record from his LA Kings stint. General Manager John Chayka backs the move, citing Hiller’s winning mindset, player rapport, and clear coaching vision. Rumors swirl that stars Auston Matthews and William Nylander helped sway the decision. Now, the real test begins: Chayka must build a roster that fits Hiller’s system and delivers next season.
