Joel Quenneville, Gary Bettman to meet over Chicago Blackhawks scandal

Florida Panthers coach Joel Quenneville has a meeting scheduled with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Thursday in New York to discuss his involvement in the Blackhawks sex abuse scandal.

Quenneville said he addressed his situation with the team, and said he didn't think it would be an issue because "I think we try to eliminate all distractions."

Bettman is also arranging a meeting with Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Chevalayoff -- a Blackhawks front office member in 2010 -- and in a statement on Tuesday, the commissioner said he would "reserve judgement" on both men until they get the chance to speak.
