The Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville will rejoin the team Friday night in Pittsburgh, just one day after winning the World Cup of Hockey as an assistant coach with Team Canada.
Quenneville along with team captain Jonathan Toews and starting goaltender Corey Crawford hoisted the trophy after defeating Marian Hossa and Team Europe, 2-1, on Thursday.
Although Quenneville is joining the team it will be three or four days until Crawford, Hossa and Toews take the ice in Hawks sweaters again, assistant coach Mike Kitchen said Friday.
