Ducks' recent scandal brings Joel Quenneville back under scrutiny
A reminder from the stands lands as the organization faces renewed off-ice controversy.
www.hockeyfeed.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Joel Quenneville returned to NHL coaching with the Anaheim Ducks, taking the head coaching role in mid-2024 after being reinstated by the league in 2024 following prior bans related to the Chicago Blackhawks investigation. This move marked his return to the bench after a multi-year pause.[2][4]
- There was significant media coverage around his hiring, including details from TSN and ESPN about background checks and the decision-making process, and subsequent press conferences with Ducks leadership and players in attendance.[2]
- In early 2026, discussions and articles around Quenneville continued to note the ongoing scrutiny and controversy tied to his past role in the 2010 Blackhawks incident, but the Ducks and Quenneville emphasized accountability and growth as part of his return to coaching.[5]
