NHL commissioner to weigh Joel Quenneville's future after scandal

Quenneville resigned as Florida Panthers coach in October 2021 after an independent investigation into how the Chicago Blackhawks handled a sexual assault allegation in 2010 that implicated Quenneville and other then-Blackhawks leaders for their inaction in the case.
Quenneville was coaching in Chicago when then-player Kyle Beach said he was sexually assaulted by video coach Brad Aldrich.
If any team wants to hire Quenneville, it will have to get permission from the Panthers to speak with him, and Quenneville must get approval from Bettman to return to the NHL.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman will meet with Joel Quenneville after the playoffs to review the veteran coach's status with the league.
Former Chicago general manager and president of hockey operations Stan Bowman has also been out of the league since 2021 following the investigation into the Blackhawks and has spoken with teams about a possible return to the NHL.
