Former Sharks head coach Ron Wilson has been fired by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Wilson was in his fourth season as head coach of Toronto, which has lost nine of its last 10 games and is quickly fading from the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Wilson was the head coach of the Sharks from 2002-08, compiling a 236-134-45 record. He was fired by the Sharks on May 12, 2008, after three straight seasons of losing in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. He was named as the head coach of the Maple Leafs less than a month later on June 10, 2008.
