Einnim Duck is hiring Stanley Cup winner Joel Quenville as his new head coach, many outlets on Thursday.
66 -year -old Quenville won three championships with Chicago BlackHox (2010, 2013 and 2015) and ranked number 2 in NHL history with 969 wins for four teams in 25 seasons.
He resigned as a coach of Florida Panthers in October 2021, after an independent investigation on how he and other BlackHox leaders took over the 2010 sexual harassment charge against the team’s video coach Brad Aldrich. Commissioner Gary Betman at the time said that the coach would have to meet with NHL, he should seek future employment in the league, and NHL restored Quenville in July 2024.
Duck fired Greg Chronin last month, when he compiled a record of 62–87–15 in two sessions. Anahem has missed the playoffs in each of the last seven sessions.
The Quenville St. Louis Blues (1996–2004), Colorado Avalchal (2005-08), BlackHox (2008–18) and Panthers (2019–21) were 969–572–150 with 77 relationships as head coaches. He won the Jack Adams Award in 1999–2000 as the League Coach of the Year.
Former BlackHox Sambhavna Kail Beach made an attack against Aldrich during the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs. The investigation found that Quenville and Chicago officials decided to postpone any action against Aldrich until after the Stanley Cup final.
After quitting his job with panthers in 2021, Quenville said, “I want to express my grief for this young man, Kyle beach pain.”
