MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – Florida Panthers coach Joel Quenneville coached his team on Wednesday. What happens Thursday will likely determine if he keeps that job.
Quenneville will meet with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on Thursday in New York about his role in what happened — and what didn’t happen — in Chicago during the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs, when a player named Kyle Beach claimed he was sexually assaulted by Blackhawks assistant Brad Aldrich. Quenneville was the head coach of that team, which won the Stanley Cup.
