Overview
- Quenneville coached Anaheim in Chicago on Sunday in his first appearance there since the 2021 publication of the Jenner & Block findings on the Blackhawks’ mishandling of Kyle Beach’s allegation.
- The team did not formally acknowledge him in-arena, and the crowd reaction was limited to a few scattered cheers and boos.
- An independent investigation concluded Blackhawks leaders delayed reporting Beach’s 2010 allegation against video coach Brad Aldrich, leading to resignations and nearly three-year NHL bans for Quenneville and executives.
- Reinstated by the NHL in July 2024 and hired by the Ducks in May 2025 after background checks that included speaking with Beach, Quenneville says he has apologized and pursued education on abuse and trauma.
- He entered Sunday with 971 career wins and three Stanley Cup titles with Chicago, having resigned from the Florida Panthers in October 2021; former GM Stan Bowman was also reinstated and later joined the Oilers.
