Joel Quenneville from Anaheim Ducks for his first head coach job, since Blackhawk's abuse scandal

Joel Quenneville returns to the NHL with the Anaheim Ducks to resign his first school trainer job since the second -time coach in the history of the league and was banned because of his treatment of a sexual abutment scandal.

The 66-year-old Quenneville was hired on Thursday by General Manager of Ducks, Pat Verbek, for his first coaching job since his resignation from the Florida Panthers 3 1/2 years ago after dealing with the sexual abutment scandal during his tenure with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The executives of Quenneville and Blackhawks, Stan Bowman and Al Macisaac, were banished by the NHL for almost three years after an independent examination came to the conclusion that the team was abused by the team of the team against the team against the team of the team against the team of the team against the trio all -time administrator of the team.

Before his departure, the Windsor, born from 25 NHL, spent leases behind the benches of St. Louis, Colorado, Chicago and Florida and established himself as the most resistant coach in his era.

He led the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup championships in 2010, 2013 and 2015.

Quenneville's reputation and career were severely damaged by his role in the treatment of accusations against Aldrich by his role in the treatment of Blackhawks.

After four seasons from sports, the 13-year-old NHL defender gets another chance behind the banking dies with a franchise in the middle of a lengthy reconstruction process.

Quenneville takes over a team that missed the playoffs for seven in a row that has missed the third longest -long absence in the NHL. Anaheim took sixth place in the Pacific Division with 35-37-10 this season after being in the lower two in the last four consecutive years.

He replaces Greg Cronin, who was surprisingly released by Verbeek after his second season. Cronin led the ducks to a 21-point improvement in his second season, but Verbeek changed the course for reasons that he leaned to reveal himself when he announced shooting.

During the announcement of the change, Verbeek said that the ducks would expect the playoffs to do the playoffs next season. This is a statement that the first GM had never held responsible for the franchise franchise of owner Henry Samueli in its 3 1/2 years.

And Quenneville has a lot of experience with bringing teams into the post -season. His teams made 20 Stanley Cup Playoff appearances and reached the post -season in all of the 22 seasons he ended.

Quenneville inherits a team with an abundant component of young talents. The roster includes the number 2 of the overall winner Leo Carlsson, the No. 3-Picks Mason Mctavish and Beckett Sennecke, promising Forward Cutter Gauthier, rising defender Jackson Lacombe and Pavel Mintyukov and several veteran strikers, including twice all-star Troy Terry and Trevor Zegra.
