The hockey world has lost a great one.
Pat Quinn, a former NHL player and head coach, died Sunday night at Vancouver General Hospital, the Vancouver Giants and Hockey Hall of Fame announced. He was 71
“Words cannot express the pain we all feel today for the Quinn family,” Giants majority owner Ron Toigo. “Pat was an inspiration to all of us. He always said that respect was something that should be earned, not given, and the respect that he garnered throughout the hockey world speaks for itself. He will be sorely missed.”
Concern and an outpouring of support was expressed last week when Quinn, whose health had been in decline the past year, missed the Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
A native of Hamilton, Ont., Quinn coached 20 seasons in the NHL for the Edmonton Oilers, Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Maple Leafs. He reached the playoffs 15 times and the Stanley Cup Final twice, with the Flyers in 1980 and the Canucks in 1994.
He was a two-time winner of the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of year, with the Flyers in 1980 and the Canucks in 1992.
