Queneville met with NHL Commissioner Gary Batman and announced his resignation shortly afterwards, the AP reported. At the helm of the Panthers, who have not lost the season, Quenneville will be replaced by his former assistant Andrew Brunett.
According to Beach, in 2010 he fell victim to the sexual assault of Breda Oldrich, the assistant coach of the Chicago club at the time.
“I admire Kail Beach for having the courage not to remain silent and I am shocked that he initially received so little support,” Queneville said. “Although it’s been 11 years, I feel hurt by everything he’s experienced. My former Blackhawks cheated on Kaila, and there’s my part. [vainas].”
Queneville’s contract with the Panthers provided for another three years to pay $ 15 million.
If 63-year-old Queneville wants to return to work in the NHL once, the league management will have to meet with him and approve the coach’s appointment,
said Batman. Queneville’s resignation was also supported by the NHL Coaches Association.
Queneville is probably not the last to leave the Chicago club due to his past. Batman will meet with Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Sheveldeeiof on Friday, who also worked for the Blackhawks at a time when he said he was under attack.
An independent law firm said in a summary of the investigation, published on Tuesday, that Blackhawks did not pay enough attention to what Beach said, possibly because the club did not want to distract from the team’s fight in the Stanley Cup. Even before the report of Jenner & Block, a law firm hired by the Chicago Club, Blackhawks general manager and president of hockey operations resigned.
The NHL fined the Blackhawks of Chicago $ 2 million for inadequate internal procedures and an inadequate and belated response.
Queneville said he only learned about Bay’s accusations in the summer of 2021. Under his leadership, the Panthers got off to a great start to the new season, winning seven games in the same number of games. In the NHL coaching career, Queneville has won 969, behind only 1244 winning Scotland Boumen – Stena Boumen’s father.
