On most practice days during Sheldon Keefe’s five years as head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Jordan Bean, the team’s video coordinator and statistical analyst, would lug around a giant speaker at the team’s practice facility in Etobicoke.

Bean would then queue up tunes on an iPad connected to the speaker — everything from hip-hop to country to classic rock — that would blare during drills and pause when Keefe stopped to give instruction.

That’s gone now. There’s no more music at Leafs practice. It’s one of many ways practice has changed under Keefe’s replacement, Craig Berube.

    Man, what a hard-ass.

    For real, I can’t believe they’d have music during practice. How are they supposed to listen to coach?! Maybe that’s why they didn’t. Lol
