Toronto Marlies lay off entire coaching staff – Winnipeg Free Press

TORONTO – The Toronto Marlies will not renew the contracts of head coach Greg Moore and assistants AJ MacLean and John Snowden, the club announced Friday.

The move by the top affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs came less than 24 hours after the club was knocked out of the American Hockey League playoffs in a three-game sweep by the Rochester Americans.

Moore just finished his fourth season as Marlies manager, while MacLean has been in his role for the past eight years.

Meanwhile, Snowden had been with the organization for five seasons: three seasons as head coach with the third-tier ECHL Newfoundland Growlers and two with the Marlies.

The news came the same day the Leafs announced they were “parting ways” with general manager Kyle Dubas after five seasons.
