The Anaheim Ducks have decided to part ways with head coach Greg Cronin following two seasons, as confirmed by general manager Pat Verbeek. Despite some improvements seen among the young roster, Verbeek indicated that a change in direction was needed after assessing the team's performance. The Ducks finished with a record of 35-37-10, missing the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season, although they did show a 21-point improvement over the previous year.

Under Cronin, the Ducks managed a total of 62 wins in 164 games. The next head coach will inherit a promising young core, featuring standout performances from players like Mason McTavish, who led the team with 22 goals and 52 points, and Leo Carlsson, the second overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. The Ducks' future looks bright as they continue to develop their young talents.
