One of the best goaltenders in National Hockey League history that was born in the United States has decided to officially hang up the pads once this season comes to a close.
New York Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick, who played the bulk of his career with the Los Angeles Kings and helped them to two Stanley Cup wins in three years, announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2025-26 NHL season.
Quick and the Rangers will not appear in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, meaning that Wednesday, April 15 against the Tampa Bay Lightning will be his final appearance in uniform.
Quick is a three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Kings and Vegas Golden Knights.

Not only did Quick confirm that his NHL career was coming to an end, but Rangers GM Chris Drury has since released a statement in which he congratulated Quick on his success.
“In a career that spanned close to two decades in the National Hockey League, Jonathan Quick became not just the winningest American-born goaltender of all-time, but also one of the best goaltenders in hockey history,” Drury wrote in a statement.
“A three-time Stanley Cup Champion, he earned the utmost respect of teammates, coaches, and staff members through his work ethic and dedication to his craft,” he continued. “Jonathan is a special person and player, and the entire Rangers organization wishes him – along with his wife Jackie and three children, Madison, Carter, and Cash – all the best in retirement.”
