NHL Reinstates Executives and Coach After Blackhawks Assault Scandal

Stan Bowman, Al MacIsaac, and Joel Quenneville can seek employment starting July 10 after showing remorse and committing to improvement.

The NHL lifted the ban on Bowman, MacIsaac, and Quenneville, allowing them to return to the league.
The three were banned in 2021 for mishandling a sexual assault allegation involving a player and a video coach in 2010.
An independent investigation found that the Blackhawks prioritized team performance over addressing the assault claims.
The league acknowledged the individuals' efforts in personal improvement and increased awareness of their responsibilities.
Bowman is a potential candidate for the Edmonton Oilers' vacant general manager position.
