Sheldon Keefe on Rasmus Sandin: “In time, he is going to prove to be a very important piece of our hockey club”

It’s been quite a journey for you to become head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs — 14 years of head coaching experience and a number of championships in the CHL and the Calder Cup with the Marlies. Do you ever have to pinch yourself when you’re living out what is a career dream?

Keefe: It certainly is an honour beyond belief for anybody in hockey. As someone who grew up in the area here and whose family is still in the area, it is a special feeling. There are definitely those moments in time where you kind of catch yourself.
