Ducks hiring Joel Quenneville after career derailed over handling of sexual assault scandal
NY Post
The Ducks are making a controversial hire with Joel Quenneville tapped as their next head coach, according to multiple reports, despite the NHL previously banning and reprimanding the 66-year-old for how he handled sexual assault allegations while he coached the Blackhawks.
Anaheim conducted an “extensive” look into his past and spoke with advocacy programs and the former Blackhawk who was allegedly sexually assaulted. The team believes Quenneville has taken the proper steps to learn from the incident, per ESPN.
Quenneville is one of the most successful head coaches in NHL history, guiding three Blackhawks teams to Stanley Cup triumphs in 2010, ’13 and ’15, and tallying 969 regular-season wins, the second-most in NHL history and the most among active coaches.
The later years of his coaching career have been marred by his “unacceptable” involvement in the sexual assault scandal that plagued the Blackhawks during their 2010 season.
Former Blackhawks player Kyle Beach alleged that he was sexually assaulted by former video coach Brad Aldrich during the 2010 season.
Quenneville coached the Blackhawks from 2010-19.
