Joel Quenneville's name has arisen in the media, as a result of the Toronto Maple Leafs head coach shake-up.

In doing so, the Blackhawks scandal has risen again, as Quenneville would undoubtedly love to return to what he loves, coaching in the NHL.

Quenneville won 3 Stanley Cups with the Chicago Blackhawks, with Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, and a surrounding cast of who's who, including Patrick Sharp, Duncan Keith, Corey Crawford, and more NHL stars, forever memorialized on the cup.

However, due to the scandal, he was out of the league by October 2021 and no longer coaching the Florida Panthers, who now are perennial Stanley Cup contenders and playoff performers under Paul Maurice.

Panthers, Maple Leafs, and NHL fans have to wonder when Coach Q will be behind the bench again.

This led to Coach Q's daughter, Anna issuing a statement on Quenneville's actions during the scandal.

She simply refuted the idea that Joel Quenneville ever gave a letter of recommendation for the coach at the center of the scandal.

And no my dad did not ever write a letter of recommendation for the video coach, that is just another blatant false perception I'm tired of seeing.

It seems she also said that Kyle aka John Doe gave Quenneville his blessings to go find a new job as a coach after appearing on the Cam and Strick Podcast.

For those asking, Kyle called my dad after he went on

podcast and he gave him his blessings to coach again.

This could be speculation as both statements haven't been confirmed yet, but if true could shift the perception of Quenneville in the ongoing situation that keeps Bowman and Quenneville out of the NHL.
