Joel Quenneville Returns To Face Blackhawks For First Time Since Ban 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Oct 20, 2025 5:06 am

First-year Anaheim Ducks coach Joel Quenneville returned to the United Center on Sunday night for the first time since he and two other former Chicago Blackhawks executives were banned from the NHL in October 2021 for their mishandling of a sexual assault allegation by a former player in 2010.

Quenneville, 67, has the Ducks off to a 2-2-1 start almost four years after he was forced to resign as coach of the Florida Panthers. He was banned from the NHL for nearly three years.

\"I\'m grateful to be back in the game,\" Quenneville said before Chicago\'s 2-1 win on Ryan Donato\'s overtime goal. \"I\'m excited about being back in here in Chicago.\"
