Overview

  • The Ducks missed the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season, finishing sixth in the Pacific Division with a 35-37-10 record under Greg Cronin.
  • Quenneville resigned from the Florida Panthers in 2021 after an investigation revealed leadership failures during his tenure with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010.
  • The NHL reinstated Quenneville, along with Stan Bowman and Al MacIsaac, in July 2024 following their acknowledgments of past mistakes and demonstrated reform efforts.
