During Quinn’s tenure as a head coach in the NHL, two defensemen won the Norris Trophy as the league’s best defenseman (Adam Fox – 2020-21 with the Rangers; Erik Karlsson – 2022-23 with San Jose). The Cranston, Rhode Island native has also been behind the bench in several international tournaments with Team USA. Quinn was an assistant coach at the 2025 4 Nations Face-off, as well as the head coach of the 2022 and 2023 World Championship teams and the 2022 Men’s Olympic Team. Quinn served as head coach at Boston University from 2013-18, and the Terriers posted a 105-68-21 record over his five seasons at the helm. During Quinn’s tenure, Boston University made four consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament (2015-18), including three regional final appearances, and captured two Hockey East tournament titles and two Hockey East Regular Season titles. In the 2014-15 season, Quinn guided Boston University to an appearance in the National Championship game.
