Panthers Hire Joel Quenneville as Head Coach Amid Flyers Rumors

The Florida Panthers did not have to wait long to find their new head coach.

General manager Dale Tallon announced Joel Quenneville will take over on the bench Monday, a day after the team fired Bob Boughner.

Tallon said:

"Joel is a three-time Stanley Cup champion head coach who will be a transformative leader for the Florida Panthers franchise. We've seized the opportunity to add one of the most successful head coaches in hockey history, and we're thrilled that Joel has agreed to take on the challenge of leading our promising young team.
