Joel Quenneville, who was head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks during the period when Kyle Beach said he was assaulted by a member of the coaching staff, remained in place as coach of the Florida Panthers on Wednesday, one day before he travels to New York for a meeting with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman that will likely determine if he can keep his job.
Joel Quenneville remained in place as coach of the Florida Panthers on Wednesday, one day before he travels to New York for a meeting with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman that will likely determine if he can keep his job.
Beach said a meeting about his claims -- it was not clear which one he was referring to -- took place in Quenneville's office. Beach's interview aired in Canada about an hour before the Panthers played host to the Boston Bruins. Quenneville was behind the bench with his team for the game, like usual.The Panthers were off to a flying start this season, beginning 6-0-0 for the first time in franchise history entering Wednesday. Then came Tuesday, when Quenneville was named in the report, and the Panthers suddenly had a major issue on their hands.
Quenneville is the second-winningest coach in NHL history, his 968 victories trailing only the 1,244 amassed by Scotty Bowman -- the father of now-former Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman, who resigned Tuesday when the investigation's findings were released.
