ANAHEIM, Calif. – Long content to stay in the background, Anaheim Ducks owner Henry Samueli stepped into the spotlight on Thursday when his team introduced Joel Quenneville as the 12th head coach in franchise history.

The Anaheim Ducks' hiring of former Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville has certainly sparked up massive debut. Quenneville was part of the 2010 Blackhawks scandal, where the team covered up a sexual assault claim from a former player.

Joel Quenneville is returning to the NHL as the 12th coach of the Anaheim Ducks. Quenneville is an NHL coach for the first time in more than three years as he replaces Greg Cronin, who was fired by the Ducks on April 19.
