After learning the news of Viktor Tikhonov’s passing, the hockey world took another hit Monday when it was announced that former NHL head coach and executive Pat Quinn passed away after a lengthy illness.

Quinn coach the Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Edmonton Oilers, and is fifth all-time in the NHL in wins with 684. He reached the Stanley Cup Final twice, making appearances with the Flyers in 1980 and the Canucks in 1994. He won the Jack Adams Award in 1980 and 1982; an Olympic gold medal with Team Canada in 2002 (Canada’s first in 50 years); IIHF U18 and U20 gold in 2008 and 2009, respectively; and the 2004 World Cup of Hockey.

Quinn spent 20 years as an NHL coach, missing the playoffs only five times, two of which were because he was either fired or resigned during the season. He was also a player, lacing up the skates for 606 NHL games between the Maple Leafs, Canucks and Atlanta Flames.

Canucks and Maple Leafs fans will remember him the greatest for what he did to boost the fortunes of those franchises while he was a head coach and general manager.
