Jonathan Quick, the winningest American goalie in NHL history, confirmed that his start for the New York Rangers against Florida yesterday evening would be his last, capping a 19-season pro career that saw Quick capture three Stanley Cups and an Olympic Silver medal.

A third round draft pick of the Los Angeles Kings in 2005, Quick joined the Kings system in 2007, making his way up from their third-division farm team to the Kings’ starter within two seasons. It was in his fifth season where he would put on a playoff performance for the ages, going 16-4 and posting a staggering .946 save percentage en route to Los Angeles’ first Stanley Cup, winning playoff MVP honours to boot. Quick would lead the Kings to a second Cup in 2014, this time posting a .911 save percentage in 26 games. In his sixteenth season in Los Angeles, Quick was dealt to Vegas at the trade deadline, where he would capture his third Stanley Cup backing up Adin Hill. A free agent, Quick would sign with his childhood team, the New York Rangers, sharing the net with Igor Shestyorkin before hanging up his skates. A two-time Jennings Trophy winner and a three-time NHL All-Star, Quick retires with 410 wins (along with another 49 playoff wins) and a career .910 save percentage, setting the mark for the most wins by an American goaltender, and being the first to cross 400 victories.

A native of Milford, Connecticut, Quick’s playoff success meant he was seldom available for any Team USA commitments; he would first make the national team for the Vancouver Olympics, winning Silver as the team’s third goalie behind Ryan Miller and Tim Thomas. Quick would see his first Team USA at the following Olympics in Sochi, starting in all but one game, posting a .923 save percentage en route to a fourth place finish. Quick’s third and final national team appearance would be at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, starting in back to back losses to Team Europe and Canada, respectively.

Given his many NHL accolades, Quick would only win the IHLC once in his career, in the lead-up to the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. We wish Jonathan and his family the very best for his retirement and the things to come!
