Louis Blues , Philadelphia Flyers , Minnesota North Stars , Ottawa Senators and Los Angeles Kings in the National Hockey League on the position of the center has denied. Following his active career in ice hockey, Quinn pursued a career as a successful golfer on the Celebrity Players Golf Tour and worked as a caddy for numerous top players on the PGA Tour .

Career

Quinn played for the Belleville Bulls in the Ontario Hockey League between 1981 and 1983 during his junior years . After he had been selected in the NHL Entry Draft 1983 in 13th overall position by the Calgary Flames from the National Hockey League , they brought him because of his great talent shortly after the start of the 1983/84 season in their squad. During his time in the OHL he had reached 265 points scorer in 165 games .

Quinn spent three seasons with the Flames and steadily improved his statistical values ​​from year to year, although Calgary had a well-staffed squad with many experienced players at that time. In its third year, the center had increased to 30 goals and 72 points. Shortly after the beginning of the 1986/87 season - in November 1986 - Quinn was transferred to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Mike Bullard . In Mario Lemieux's team , the Canadian was the center forward of the second attack row and successfully completed this part with seasons of 71, 79 and 94 scorer points. His 40 goals in the 1987/88 season and the 94 points paired with 60 assists in the following year were both career highs. However, after a weak start to the 1989/90 season , he was in January 1990 with Dave Capuano and Andrew McBain in exchange for Rod Buskas , Barry Pederson and Tony Tanti given to the Vancouver Canucks .

Quinn stayed on the west coast of Canada for two years. However, his low workload on the ice, known in league circles, and his antics outside of it prevented the Canucks from tying themselves to him in the long term. In one of the largest transfer deals in the Canucks franchise history , he was transferred to St. Louis Blues in March 1991 with defense attorney Garth Butcher . In return, they sent Geoff Courtnall , Robert Dirk , Cliff Ronning , Sergio Momesso and a five-round vote in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft to Vancouver. Quinn's time in St. Louis lasted only 14 games in the regular season and 13 play-off games. As early as the summer of 1991, the center was sent to the Philadelphia Flyers with Rod Brind'Amour , who let Ron Sutter and Murray Baron go for it. Here, too, the striker only stayed one season before he moved to the Minnesota North Stars as a free agent for the 1992/93 season .

As a member of the North Stars, the career dip followed in November 1992. Quinn had spent an evening with his former teammates from Pittsburgh - Mario Lemieux, Rick Tocchet and Bob Errey - and four young women. Then everyone had returned to the Penguins team hotel. In the aftermath of the evening, Quinn was accused of raping one of the four women in a hotel room. The charges against Quinn were brought against him and a case opened, but this was dropped shortly afterwards after it was discovered that both had had consensual sex. Quinn's reputation was ruined as a result - also by the time in custody, the estimated bail of 30,000 US dollars and the increased media exposure. The North Stars dissolved the contract for their part.

As a result, Quinn fled into Switzerland , where he spent the 1993/94 season at SC Bern in the National League A spent. The attacker did not return to Canada until March 1994 and ended the season in his hometown with the Ottawa Senators . Due to the lockout at the beginning of the 1994/95 NHL season , Quinn returned to Switzerland and completed a few encounters for EV Zug before joining the Los Angeles Kings for a year in September 1994 . Between 1995 and 1996 further engagements followed at his ex-clubs Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins, where he was fired in November 1996 and then ended his career.

Following his ice hockey career, Quinn tried his hand at becoming a successful golfer on the Celebrity Players Golf Tour . He was a caddy on the PGA Tour for John Daly , Ernie Els and Joost Luiten .

International

Quinn represented his home country at the 1987 World Cup in Austria , where he finished fourth with the team and narrowly missed winning a medal. In ten tournament games, the striker scored two goals and prepared as many.
