Quenneville hired as Ducks coach, replaces Cronin
Had been out of NHL since resigning from Panthers in 2021 following sexual assault investigation into Blackhawks video coach
www.nhl.comHere’s the latest available update: Joel Quenneville was hired as the Anaheim Ducks head coach on May 8, 2025, replacing Greg Cronin who was fired in April 2025. The Ducks were in the process of finalizing their coaching staff following that change, with reports indicating ongoing interviews and the addition of assistant coaches as they built the new staff around Quenneville. Cronin’s departure came after two seasons with the team, during which the Ducks missed the playoffs, prompting the franchise to pursue a new direction under Quenneville’s leadership.[1][2][3][6][7]
