Jan 11, 2024; Raleigh, North Carolina, USA; Anaheim Ducks head coach Greg Cronin walks off the ice after the Ducks loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena. Mandatory Credit: James Guillory-Imagn Images The Anaheim Ducks fired Greg Cronin on Saturday morning after two seasons as their head coach.
Cronin, 61, posted a 62-87-15 record in Anaheim after accepting the position — his first as an NHL head coach — on June 5, 2023. The Ducks limped to a 35-37-10 (80 points) mark in 2024-25 and a sixth-place finish in the Pacific Division to miss the playoffs for the seventh straight season.
“I want to personally thank Greg for his tireless work and dedication to the team,” Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said. “He is responsible in many ways for the improvement we’ve seen from our young core.
“However, after several weeks of careful evaluation, I concluded we needed a change in direction and a new voice. This was an extremely difficult decision for me to make, but I felt it was necessary to continue our progress toward becoming a Stanley Cup contender that I know we can be.”
Cronin, who took over for Dallas Eakins, had previous NHL assistant-coaching duties with the New York Islanders (1998-2003, 2014-18) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (2011-14). He also served as the head coach of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (2003-05) and Colorado Eagles (2018-23) of the American Hockey League, as well as the bench boss at Northeastern University from 2005-11.

Hocevar's car was canted out onto pit road, and when Berry came through, well, a touch of chaos ensued.The tire carrier, Jarius Morehead, said in a brief television interview afterward that he was fine after the hit. Morehead played college football at N.C. State. Here's him in a more favorable moment:As a safety, Morehead surely made a few hard tackles ... though none as hard as getting hit by a car. Fortunately, all is well; that's why pit road speed limits exist.

Com Everton Cebolinha, Arrascaeta e dois de Pedro, o Rubro-Negro não teve muito trabalho para golear o adversário paulista.
