Veteran goaltender Jonathan Quick, 40, says he is retiring
SUNRISE, Fla. – Jonathan Quick says he is retiring at 40 after nearly two decades in the NHL, during which he was one of the best goaltenders of his generation.
Quick said his start for the New York Rangers against the Florida Panthers on Monday night will be his last game. This will be his 921st appearance, counting the playoffs.
“He has earned the respect of his teammates, coaches and staff through his work ethic and dedication to his craft,” Rangers general manager Chris Drury said in a statement posted on social media. “Jonathan is a special person and player, and the entire Rangers organization wishes him, his wife, Jackie, and his three children, Madison, Carter and Cash, all the best in his retirement.”
Quick backed the Los Angeles Kings to Stanley Cup championships in 2012 and 2014 and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in the first of those two title runs.
The Milford, Conn., native was the U.S. starter at the 2014 Olympics and also has a 2023 Cup ring as an alternate for the Vegas Golden Knights.
