Jonathan Quick Hangs Up Skates After Storied Career

Jonathan Quick has announced that he will retire from the National Hockey League following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, with his final game slated for April 13, 2026. This marks the end of a remarkable 19-year career for the goaltender.

Quick's illustrious tenure includes three Stanley Cup championships, with two of those secured as the Los Angeles Kings' pivotal player in 2012 and 2014. He will retire ranked 12th all-time in NHL wins and first among American-born netminders. His career also saw him achieve six All-Star selections with the Kings.

After a turbulent 2022-23 season that saw him traded from the Kings to the Columbus Blue Jackets and then to the Vegas Golden Knights, where he won his third Cup as a reserve, Quick found a resurgence with the New York Rangers. He embraced his role as Igor Shesterkin's backup for the past three seasons, cherishing his time with the team he supported growing up.

Quick cited his children's activities and a desire to be more present in their lives as key factors in his decision. He expressed deep gratitude to his teammates, coaches, and the Rangers organization for their support throughout his career. His final game will be attended by his wife, children, and parents, capping a career defined by intense focus and dedication.
