Ducks hire Joel Quenneville in his NHL return
The
Anaheim Ducks are hiring Joel Quenneville as their new head coach, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.
An announcement of Quenneville's hiring and an introductory news conference are expected Thursday.
Quenneville has been out of the NHL since 2021 after resigning as
Florida Panthers coach in the fallout of the investigation into the
Chicago Blackhawks. An independent report from a law firm in October 2021 detailed how the Blackhawks organization failed to properly address allegations by player Kyle Beach that he was sexually assaulted by video coach Brad Aldrich during the team's 2010 Stanley Cup run.
