Jack Han was an associate coach on Sheldon Keefe's staff for one season with the Toronto Marlies. During that time he tried to express to Keefe why he didn't agree with Keefe's approach of playing music during practice.
Sheldon Keefe has decided to have a DJ follow the team and plays music while the Maple Leafs practice. This must have been a departure from how Han and Keefe ran things in the AHL, as he points out it's disruptive to staff organization of other tasks during practice as well.
With the Maple Leafs coming off a disappointing first-round exit, yet again maybe Keefe will consider altering his approach.
Han, currently a consultant coach for the Connecticut Whale and Zurich ZSC Lions of the Swiss National League has established a presence on Twitter, with his newsletter which details tactics of NHL teams, along with his book.
