Hamilton, Quinn played for the Steel City\u2019s Tiger Cubs and Kilty B\u2019s in the Ontario Hockey Association, before moving to play alongside fellow futureNHL general manager Glen Sather on the Edmonton Oil Kings, who captured the 1963 Memorial Cup. After six years toiling in the minors, he made his NHLdebut with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1968-69.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quinn first came to Vancouver as a member of the Canucks\u2019 inaugural NHLteam in 1970, playing two seasons as a hard rock defenseman and a popular leader on and off the ice. After retiring following a nine-year NHL career, he became a remarkably successful NHL coach and general manager guiding several NHL clubs including Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto, and Edmonton. During his first full season with the Flyers, Quinn guided the team to a record 35-game unbeaten streak and a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quinn returned to the Cup Finals at the helm of the Canucks in 1994, taking the team to within a goal post of defeating the Rangers in Game Seven. His eleven-season stint from 1987-97, as the Canucks\u2019 coach, general manager, and president, was a turning point in the franchise\u2019s history, rebuilding the organization from top-to-bottom into one of the best in the game. Today, he holds the fifth highest all-time winning percentage amongst NHL coaches with 657 wins to his name. Twice, he was awarded the Jack Adams Award as the NHL\u2019s coach of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internationally, few coaches have achieved success at all levels to match Quinn\u2019s. He coached four Canadian teams to world championships: the 2009 U-20 men, the 2008 U-18 men, the 2004 World Cup of Hockey, and, of course, the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, Canada\u2019s first Olympic hockey gold in fifty years. He returned to coach Team Canada again four years later at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino. As general manager, he guided Team Canada to the 1997 world ice hockey championship and a silver medal at the 1996 World Cup of Hockey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quinn\u2019s work in the community is second-to-none, devoting countless hours to many charities and organizations ranging from the Vancouver Giants, Canuck Place, Greater Vancouver Open, the Hockey Hall of Fame, and the Hockey Canada Centre of Excellence. In 2012, Quinn was the recipient of the Order of Canada. Earlier, he was honoured with induction into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame in 2002 and as the inaugural recipient of the Jack Diamond Award in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Written and researched by Jason Beck, Curator of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bcsportshall.com\/\">BC Sports Hall of Fame<\/a>.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pat Quinn Pat Quinn commanded respect amongst his players, amongst his coworkers, and amongst his peers.
