CHICAGO — Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville was admitted to hospital Wednesday after “presenting severe discomfort” at his suburban Chicago home overnight.
“He went to the emergency room and was admitted early this morning,” Blackhawks head team physician Dr. Michael Terry said in a statement. “He is currently in stable condition and is being treated for an undisclosed health concern today, not of cardiac nature. Further testing is ongoing and we will provide an update when possible.”
Assistant coach Mike Haviland will handle head coaching duties for Wednesday night’s home game against the Minnesota Wild.
“We certainly wish Joel a speedy recovery and we will do everything possible to support him and his family throughout the process,” said Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman.
Chicago enters Wednesday’s game with a 28-22-6 record, good for 11th place in the Western Conference.
