Neither Quenneville or Bowman were officially banned by Bettman or the NHL, but both left jobs after a detailed report on the Brad Aldrich sexual assault scandal were released on Oct. 26, 2021.
Bowman resigned almost immediately.
Quenneville, then coach of the Florida Panthers, had to travel to New York two days later to meeting with Bettman and his staff to discuss the gravity of the situation. He stepped down after the meeting.
