Quennville's initial reaction was bad enough. I guess to some small extent I could fathom that he was single-minded about winning the Stanley Cup but as others and I have said, why would it sidetrack the team to remove a coach that was alleged to have sexually assaulted a young player?
What makes him completely unsympathetic though is that he was happy to have Aldrich celebrate with the team, wrote a positive evaluation letter after the playoffs were over congratulating him for winning the Cup, and then denied knowing anything about it right up to now. Thete's really no evidence that he's remorseful or has learned anything from this.
I don't want to debate whether he's a monster but he utterly failed as a person in a position of authority. In my view, he'd have to display a remarkable change of heart and perspective to merit even another chance to coach, let alone coaching kids.
