Last season, Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville brought back the Stanley Cup to the Windy City for the first time in 49 years. On Thursday, the Blackhawks showed Quenneville they were dedicated to preventing another five-decade hiatus.
Quenneville, who also turned 52 on Thursday, is entering the final year of a three-year contract this season. The Blackhawks have signed Quenneville to an extension which runs through the 2013-14 season.
Quenneville took over as the Blackhawks head coach four games into the 2008-09 season after former head coach Dennis Savard was fired. He has also coached the St. Louis Blues and the Colorado Avalanche in his career.
In just under two full seasons as the Blackhawks head coach, Quenneville has posted a 97-44-19 record. He has a career record of 535-327-77.
