New York Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick retires from NHL aged 40
New York Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick has announced his retirement from the NHL at the age of 40 following a decorated two-decade career.
The three-time Stanley Cup champion confirmed that Monday’s start against the Florida Panthers serves as his final professional game.
The fixture in Sunrise marks his 921st career appearance across both regular-season and playoff action.
Decorated career and championship pedigree
The American netminder established himself as one of the finest goaltenders of his generation during a highly successful spell with the Los Angeles Kings.
He backstopped the Californian franchise to Stanley Cup glory in 2012 and 2014, lifting the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff most valuable player during the first of those title runs.
The Milford-born veteran added a third championship ring to his collection in 2023 whilst serving as a backup for the Vegas Golden Knights.
On the international stage, the former Olympian was the starting goaltender for the United States at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
Rangers pay tribute to departing veteran
Quick elected to conclude his illustrious career in New York after joining the Rangers for his final NHL campaign.
Rangers general manager Chris Drury praised the departing star’s immense contribution to the sport in a statement released on social media.
He earned the respect of his 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.
