Player » Joel Quenneville

Chicago Blackhawks hockey coach Joel Quenneville has won three Stanley Cup titles with the team, and has won over most of his players, earning their admiration as a former player who never forgot what it's like to play hockey. He knows the most important single thing about coaching professional sports ? how to get the most out of his players ? particularly the stars, who are not always easy to keep happy. He is certainly what you'd call ?a player's coach.? He has won 783 games as an NHL coach, which is the second-highest win record in NHL coaching history. Only Scotty Bowman has more with 1,244 lifetime coaching victories. Before he became a coach though, Joel Quenneville was a player in the NHL who accomplished quite a bit as a left-shooting defenseman for the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Colorado Rockies and several other NHL teams. This experience molded him into the great hockey coach he has become. He started coaching the St. Louis Blues where he led the franchise to seven straight playoff berths. After leaving the Blues at the end of the 2000 season, he took some time off from hockey before being hired as coach of the Colorado Avalanche for the 2005-06 season, when he led the team to the playoffs. In 2007, ?Coach Q? coached his 750th career game. He also attained his 400th win as an NHL coach in 2007.
