Coaching profile -- Pat Quinn, Toronto Maple Leafs
He's won a gold medal in this years Winter Olympics and he's also earned a law degree. All that's left for Toronto Maple Leaf head coach Pat Quinn to win is the Stanley Cup.
He won a gold medal in the 2002 Winter Olympics, coaching the Canadian Hockey Team.
Now Toronto Maple Leaf head coach, Pat Quinn, would like to add his name to the Stanley Cup.
Like their fellow Canadian hockey fans over in Montreal, the Toronto fans expect nothing less than the Stanley Cup this year.
The last time the Leafs won the cup was in the 1967-1968 season, a year before Pat Quinn played with the Leafs as a young defenseman.
>He became the head coach of the Leafs in 1998, and in 1999, was named general manager and coach of the team.
As of the 2001-2002 season, he is the only present NHL coach to hold both titles of coach and general manager.
Before coaching Toronto, he also coached Philadelphia, Vancouver, and Los Angeles.
While with Philadelphia, the 57 year old native of Hamilton, Ontario was named NHL Coach of the Year, joining Detroit's Scotty Bowman and former Leafs' coach, Pat Burns, as the only coaches in NHL history to win the award with two different NHL teams.
Besides playing for the Leafs, Quinn also played for Vancouver and the Atlanta Flames.
(A little Hockey 101 here. The Atlanta Flames didn't change their name to the Atlanta Thrashers. They moved up to Calgary and became the Calgary Flames.)
In case you think all old-time hockey players are big, toothless dummies, you are WRONG!
Before coaching Toronto, Quinn received a law degree from Widener University -- Delaware School of Law.
