At 66, you'd think Pat Quinn might be ready for retirement, but no, he wants to get back behind an NHL bench. So, what's his story? Well, in 1968, he made the NHL - joining the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now, as far as his playing days go, Pat is probably best remembered for a huge hit on Bobby Orr in the '69 playoffs. He played nine years in the NHL but his career ended when he fell off a skateboard and shattered his leg. So in 1977, Pat got a gig as an assistant coach with the Philadelphia Flyers. Two years later, he was head coach and led the Flyers to the Stanley Cup finals. From there, he coached the L.A. Kings, picked up a law degree and then, went to Vancouver to become President, GM and coach of the Canucks. In '94, he went to the finals again but the Canucks lost to the New York Rangers. Next, Pat went to Toronto and spent 7 seasons coaching the Leafs. He left in 2006 and was asked to coach our juniors this past year - leading the team to its 5th straight gold medal.
RIP Pat Quinn from all hockey fans here in Ireland. True Irish legend!
"May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand."
Pat Quinn....Canadian Hockey God....We Love You In Vancouver Pat...RIP ❤
I miss the guy already. He was a players coach and deserved a cup. R.I.p Quinn. I'll always remember you.
This interview with Pat Quinn on CBC's The Hour in 2009 really shows you his character. A real class act. He will be missed.
Man that was great. Seeing this, and then seeing him last March at the ring of Honour ceremony... Sure was tough seeing him ill and looking so fragile. :(
You don't need a cup or a ring, to be a champion. Quinn was one of the absolute greats. RIP, Mr. Quinn.
RIP Mr. Pat Quinn you were always my favourite head coach of the Vancouver Canucks
Yup
Screw Buffalo they suck. Go Toronto. And I hope Buffalo floods lol.
Nicholas King There's no need for that.
He sure was a great coach.
I was blessed to be able to meet, shake the hand of and have a conversation with Pat Quinn today. Wow what a legend. My heart fluttered.
You're the best Pat! Thank you for the memories and being such a class act.
R.I.P PAT QUINN THANKYOU FOR BEING THE LEAFS COACH THRU OUT MY CHILDHOOD WONT FORGET YOU
One of the all time classiest people in hockey of all time. RIP.
I loved Pat Quinn. Leafs made a huge error letting him go. He was a mans man and was respected by all.
This was a great man.
Great interview! Glad George asked Pat about the hit on Bobby Orr.
One thing that wasn't mentioned in this show is that Quinn's 1980 Flyers still hold the NHL record with a 35-game unbeaten streak. That record will probably never be broken.
One of the best faces of the Canucks organization and got us to the unforgettable '94 Stanley cup finals.
I hated how after the Griffiths family gave up the ownership, the new owner had immediately fired Pat and gave away all of our players after the change.
Even though he didn't get to have Lord Stanley, at least he gave us the Olympic Gold Medal in 2002.
RIP Pat, you were and still are the identity of what it is to be a Canuck.
AMEN TO THAT
Great coach and one of the greatest of all times
epic interview! quinn is such an iconic figure in canadian hockey. i always love hearing stories from these guys with so much experience and history in the game.
Great interview!
Pat your the best, come back to Toronto. At least you kept us in the playoffs when you were around.
Greatest hockey coach of all time, I miss him in Toronto.
Pat Quinn. My favourite hockey coach.

PAT QUINN RUUUULLLLEESS
That big Irishman saved the Canucks from relocating in the 1980's, god bless him
Forever a leafs legend. What wisdom could be passed on to the existing leafs leadership. Rest peacefully sir.
QUINN AND BURNS THE 2 GREATEST COACHES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
He won't ask for a job that someone has. Except in 1987 when he accepted a contract from the Canucks while still with the Kings. There's a reason he was not allowed to coach the team for three years.
I don't agree with you about the Hour and hockey related interviews, but you *do* have my sympathies, from a Canadian who dislikes hockey a LOT. Food and circus...
Great stuff
Watched Quinn as an Atlanta Flame. He could throw 'em.
We need Quinn back in toronto
RIP PAT QUINN
Just come back and coach on any team, you're a genius anywhere!
Pat Quinn is my great uncle! - Pierce
He looked like Kurt Russel in his early coaching years
LOVE HIM
only time leafs passed the 1st round and went conference finals was with pat Quinn not once but 5x
Pat Quinn is the new oilers coach!! oilers to win the cup in 2010
I think you've got the wrong Pat Quinn.
Big fella!!!
see you behind the Pitts bench soon.
Patt Quinn back To Toronto please
Thank you! Or any sport for that matter. I hate how seriously the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics are taken.
All comments respected UNLESS you had to play against him as a kid. yikes..
no denying that
Was there any statement released on the cause?
your team is probably nor a destructive machine like the philadelphia flyers in the 1970s
@markisnew it was just delayed by a year :P
great guy, really bad toronto team killed his career.
Bobby Orr never kept his head up
A couple of hockey related interviews the past few shows and all of a sudden it's too much?
it does kinda sound like Greg...but it could just be a weird mumbled George.
Pat Quin I have been trying to get your help for some time now.
Can you please help the innocent people that have been waiting for justice in your Dupage Court system.
Last time I checked Dupage County is in the state you are currently representing.
How can you let injustice still run rampant and still seem like a bad dream for the people of Illinois ?
I don't blame you for your mistakes, I just ask that you do your best to fix them.
Please + Thank you :)
This feller isn't a politician bud he was a great hockey coach
Coming from a country that follows College sports to the extent that America does I find your comment very laughable
@rafakasb how embarrassed are you about that prediction right now, haha
yeah really tho
@kturner87 i got his autograph, hes great !
:)
not all players can be coaches gretzkey is an example sum are better coaches then players quinn
i hate strombo glad he is not around anymore and miles away from HNIC
Who didnt like or respect the big irishman
LMAO LEAFS HAVE MORE OF A CHANCE!
uuhh no hes not.
Whenever your country feels joy/depression over a junior hockey championship, unless your are a parent of a kid on the team, it means your country has failed at life.
If you don't like hockey please get out of Canada k thanks.
What stupid chairs to sit on!!
He is a below average NHL coach
