Overview
- Joel Quenneville, the second-winningest coach in NHL history, has been hired by the Anaheim Ducks to replace Greg Cronin as head coach.
- This marks Quenneville's first coaching role since his 2021 resignation and NHL ban following an investigation into the Blackhawks’ inadequate response to sexual assault allegations in 2010.
- The Ducks conducted a thorough review, including consultations with advocacy groups and NHL leadership, before making the decision to hire Quenneville.
- Quenneville has expressed remorse for his past inaction and emphasized his commitment to personal growth and creating a safe environment within the organization.
- The Ducks, who have missed the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons, hope Quenneville’s experience and proven track record, which includes three Stanley Cup championships, will help revitalize the team.
