Fired Anaheim Ducks Coach Greg Cronin Accuses Media of Malicious Representation

While the Anaheim Ducks took some steps forward in 2024/25, they still struggled to remain in contention for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and as a result, the team quickly parted ways with Head Coach Greg Cronin.

That came amidst plenty of criticism for Cronin, who was called out by the media for being old-school, with many that knew of the situation claiming that it wasn't a good time to be in the Ducks locker room.

Now, the veteran Head Coach has fired back at those reports, specifically naming the Spittin' Chiclets podcast as one of many media outlets that have maliciously represented him and what he stood for with the Ducks.

While there was plenty to criticize Cronin for, it is safe to say that plenty of people in the media took those criticisms further than expected, and whether or not they contributed to his perception in Anaheim among the fans and the front office, we may never know, but it may have certainly contributed to his firing.

Cronin would help this young team take steps forward, with players like Leo Carlsson and Mason McTavish stepping up to become crucial pieces of this Ducks future, but ultimately, the franchise wanted to go in a different direction, and now that's left Cronin looking for a new role in 2025/26 and beyond.
