Santa Claus was good to Ron Wilson this year.
The Toronto Maple Leafs coach posted on his official Twitter feed today that the team has extended his contract.
"He came! He came!" Remember saying that as a little kid? Well he did: I got a new Red Ryder BB gun and a contract extension!,? Wilson tweeted early Christmas morning.
The 56-year-old first raised the possibility of getting a new contract extension from GM Brian Burke with a tweet Friday night following the Leafs 5-3 win over the New York Islanders.
?This Xmas could be better if Santa stuffs a certain piece of paper in my stocking.#whatcouldthatbe,? read the tweet.
Wilson is in the final season of a four-year contract and currently has the Leafs sixth in the Eastern Conference with 40 points. Toronto has not made the playoffs in three prior seasons under Wilson.
The Leafs have yet to officially comment on the new deal. Speculation had mounted in the last week that Burke was waiting for the right moment to announce a new deal for Wilson, whose current deal expires at the end of this season.
