The Anaheim Ducks announced that Greg Cronin will not return as head coach for the upcoming 2025-26 NHL season. In the wake of this decision, the Ducks are initiating a search for a new coach, joining several other teams with vacancies. GM Pat Verbeek expressed his intention to compile a comprehensive list of candidates, aiming for the best fit for the team's future. The coaching landscape is currently complicated with multiple vacancies, potentially delaying definitive hiring announcements until after evaluating available options.
During his availability, [Ducks GM Pat Verbeek] stated the search was going to be similar to how he handled the process his first time around, in which he notably had a long list of candidates on his radar before Cronin was ultimately hired.
...I really don't have a timeline on it. I'm going to look to hire the best candidate for this team and what it needs moving forward.
