Most people argue that recycling is a positive thing.
Those people typically talk about pop cans and cardboard boxes, not old-school NHL head coaches.
Several reports on Thursday morning indicate that former Colorado Avalanche coach Joel Quenneville will be announced as the new head coach of the Anaheim Ducks.

Last week, a report was released detailing how Quenneville had been interviewed for the vacant Ducks’ position, and the “ball was in his court.”
Fast-forward to Thursday, and he has accepted this position. According to Pierre LeBrun, this announcement will be made at 1:00 PM (Pacific Time) on Thursday.

This report reveals that the Ducks have done “an extensive review over the past two weeks of the Kyle Beach case.” They will report their findings at the announcement later on Thursday.
Quennville hasn’t coached in the NHL since the 2019-20 season. He resigned after a law firm revealed that the Chicago Blackhawks organization did not “properly address the allegations” back in 2010.
See how the day unfolds, but indications are Joel Quenneville is going to be the next head coach in Anaheim. Suggestion of an announcement today.

Back on July 1st, the NHL reinstated Al MacIsaac, Stan Bowman, and Quennville. Bowman was named the GM of the Edmonton Oilers shortly after that.
Quennville is a winning coach—there is no mistaking that. Hopefully, he has done the work to adequately address serious future allegations. Winning is great, but not at the expense of players’ safety.
