Disgraced former NHL coach Joel Quenneville won’t be back coaching anytime soon.
The NHL commissioner said Quenneville “let the game down” by mishandling the allegations.
Quenneville, who is the second-winningest coach in NHL history and won a title with the Blackhawks during the time the sexual abuse allegations took place in 2010, said in a statement to TSN that he failed Beach. Bettman told ESPN that Quenneville could return to working for the NHL, but it would “require a meeting in advance in order to determine the appropriate conditions under which such new employment might take place.”“[Quenneville] has indicated that he would, at the appropriate time, like to be part of the game again,” Bettman said. “I don’t think this is the time. But we’ll see what happens in the future.
