Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Orlando, Quinn grew up in a hockey family. His mother, Ellen, played for the U.S. women’s national team, and his father, Jim, captained Providence College. Quinn spent two seasons in USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program before playing at Michigan from 2017 to 2019.
Finding his game.
At Michigan, he set the program’s freshman defenseman record with 24 assists. Vancouver drafted him seventh overall in 2018, and he signed after his sophomore season. He made his NHL debut in March 2019 and became a Calder Trophy finalist in 2020.
Leading from the blue line.
Vancouver named him captain in 2023. In 2023–24, he led NHL defensemen with 75 assists and 92 points and became the first Canuck to win the Norris Trophy.
A new chapter.
He joined Minnesota in December 2025. At the 2026 Olympics, he won gold with Team USA, led defensemen with eight points in six games, and earned Best Defender and All-Star Team honors.
