Jonathan Quick has officially announced his retirement from the NHL. The 40-year-old goaltender will make his final start tonight for the New York Rangers against the Florida Panthers at Madison Square Garden. Quick played 19 NHL seasons with the Los Angeles Kings, Vegas Golden Knights, and Rangers and leaves as the winningest American-born goaltender in league history.
Quick, a three-time Stanley Cup champion, helped lead the Kings to titles in 2012 and 2014. He also earned the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP in 2012. Over his career, Quick recorded 478 wins, fifth all-time among goaltenders. He played 1,012 career games and posted a .912 save percentage. His final season with the Rangers included a 24-14-5 record with a 2.67 goals-against average.
Quick addressed the media on Monday and said, “Obviously, the past few years, very lucky to be part of this organization and wear this jersey, but tonight will be my last game in the league. You know, I’m looking forward to it. Very fortunate. Wife flew down with the kids. So they’ll be here in attendance tonight. My parents will be here. So looking forward to this last one and try to get one more win here.”
GM Chris Drury released a statement praising Quick’s legacy. “In a career that spanned close to two decades in the National Hockey League, Jonathan Quick became not just the winningest American-born goaltender of all-time, but also one of the best goaltenders in hockey history. A three-time Stanley Cup Champion, he earned the utmost respect of teammates, coaches, and staff members through his work ethic and dedication to his craft. Jonathan is a special person and player, and the entire Rangers organization wishes him, along with his wife Jackie and three children, Madison, Carter, and Cash, all the best in retirement.”
Tributes from fans and fellow players poured in on social media. Ray Ferraro called it a “Hall of Fame career” and wished Quick all the best in retirement. Fans called him “one of the best to ever do it” and “the best American-born goaltender.” The Rangers also posted a message on their official account: “One of the best to ever do it. Congratulations on an outstanding career, Quickie! Wishing you all the best in retirement 💙❤️”
Tonight’s game against the Panthers will serve as a farewell for one of the most decorated goalies in NHL history. The Rangers will honor Quick on the ice at Madison Square Garden as he ends his legendary career.
