The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Tuesday that Daniel Alfredsson will join the team as associate coach. John Gruden and Brad Werenka were also named assistant coaches. Alfredsson, 53, spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach with the Ottawa Senators after a Hall of Fame playing career spent mostly with that club.
He served as captain during the height of the "Battle of Ontario" rivalry, which featured four playoff series between the Maple Leafs and Senators from 2000 to 2004. The Maple Leafs also announced that assistant coaches Mike Van Ryn and Derek Lalonde will not return.
Senators owner Michael Andlauer said in a statement that he wished Alfredsson were not joining a rival organization, but added that the door would always be open for a return.
