Joel Quenneville

Chosen in the first round by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1978, he spent only a season and a half with them before he was traded to the Colorado Rockies with Lanny McDonald.  In 1982, he moved to New Jersey for a season before he was signed with Hartford, where he would remain for seven seasons.  In 1990, he began to start playing in the minors regularly and eventually became a player-coach with the Baby Leafs.  After retirement, he became a coach full-time, and became an assistant in Colorado in 1994.  He won a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche in 1996 and became head coach in St. Louis the following season.  He guided the Blues to a franchise record 114 points in 2000 and won the Jack Adams Trophy.  He is now the head coach of the Colorado Avalanche.
