5 Notable Joel Quenneville Photos Through The Years
(CBS) Wednesday marks the 18-year anniversary of Joel Quenneville's first game as a head coach in the NHL. Now a legend who has led the Blackhawks to two Stanley Cup titles in his nearly 6 1/2 seasons in Chicago, Quenneville got his start with the St. Louis Blues on Jan. 7, 1997, when his squad fell to the Oilers.
Quenneville took over midseason back then after the firing of Mike Keenan. Since then, he's amassed 732 career wins, third-most all time, behind only Scotty Bowman and Al Arbour.
To mark the occasion, we present five notable photos of Quenneville through the years. All photos are courtesy of Getty Images.
