Joel Quenneville talks about firing from Blackhawks, returning to coaching

Joel Quenneville is eager to get back to coaching in the NHL.

Quenneville was fired by the Blackhawks on Nov. 6, 2018, amid a five-game losing streak and 6-6-3 start to the season. After tailgating with Chicago Bears fans the next Sunday outside of Solider Field, the three-time Stanley Cup-winning head coach has stayed out of the public eye and hasn’t spoken with any media.

That changed Sunday afternoon when Quenneville, 60, talked with WGN’s Dan Roan during a Blackhawks alumni charity event in Willowbrook. Quenneville said he has an “appetite” to get back into coaching.
