Joel Quenneville is returning to the NHL with the Anaheim Ducks for his first head coaching job since the second-winningest coach in league history resigned and was banned from the league for his handling of a sexual assault scandal.

After he won the Stanley Cup as an assistant coach with the Colorado Avalanche in 1996, Quenneville became head coach in St. Louis and led the Blues to the playoffs in seven of his eight seasons. After being fired in 2004, Quenneville returned to Colorado as head coach for three seasons.

The Ducks are making a controversial hire with Joel Quenneville tapped as their next head coach, according to multiple reports, despite the NHL previously banning and reprimanding the 66-year-old for how he handled sexual assault allegations while he coached the Blackhawks.
