When the Toronto Maple Leafs bid farewell to their long-time Head Coach Mike Babcock, it set off a whirlwind of revelations that shook the hockey world.

Reports surfaced detailing the strained relationship between Babcock and General Manager Kyle Dubas, as well as his treatment of players, with particular focus on Mitch Marner.

After staying out of the limelight since his departure from Toronto, Babcock has now emerged as the new Head Coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

During his first interview after taking up the position, Babcock openly addressed the aftermath of his firing, owning up to his mistakes while expressing his displeasure with how he was portrayed in the media.

Do I like how I was talked about after I left? No. Do I think I did anything wrong? Absolutely.


At 60 years old, Babcock is eager for a fresh start with the Blue Jackets, hoping to make the most of this opportunity. Having been away from the league for 3.5 years, he aims to unlock the team's full potential and guide them to new heights.

If he succeeds in his endeavors, the Blue Jackets could witness a significant leap forward under his leadership. Fans and analysts alike are eagerly waiting to see how Babcock's coaching style will impact the team's performance on the ice.
