The Anaheim Ducks announced the hiring of Joel Quenneville as their new head coach, nearly four years after his resignation stemming from a sexual assault investigation linked to the Chicago Blackhawks. Quenneville, a highly respected figure in the NHL with three Stanley Cups and a record of 969 wins, brings extensive experience. Despite controversy surrounding his previous tenure, the Ducks emphasized their thorough review of his conduct before hiring him, aiming to restore competitive success as they seek to return to the postseason for the first time since 2018.
Quenneville resigned from the Florida Panthers in 2021 after findings revealed he delayed reporting sexual assault allegations during his time with the Blackhawks.
Ducks GM Pat Verbeek stated that the organization completed a comprehensive review before hiring Quenneville, affirming that their findings aligned with his account.
