CHICAGO, July 26 (UPI) -- Joel Quenneville, who last month led the Chicago Blackhawks to their second Stanley Cup title in four years, was rewarded with a contract extension Friday.
The Blackhawks signed Quenneville for three additional years, a contract that will keep him with the team through the 2016-17 season.
"I'm privileged to coach probably the best group in the league," Quenneville said.
Chicago defeated Boston in six games to win the NHL title after having opened the lockout-shortened season by recording at least one point in its first 24 games -- a league record.
The Blackhawks finished the regular campaign with the NHL's best mark at 36-7-5.
Quenneville has been the Blackhawks' coach since the 2008-09 season. He also has coached St. Louis and Colorado and his 660 career victories rank sixth in league history.
