Former San Jose Sharks and New York Rangers head coach David Quinn has officially been named an assistant coach on Mike Sullivan’s staff. Quinn, 57, a close friend of Sullivan, will oversee the defense, replacing Todd Reirden who was fired last month: Assistant Coaches Mike Vellucci and Ty Hennes will return in 2024-2025, along with Goaltending Coach Andy Chiodo, Video Coach Madison Nikkel and Assistant Video Coach CJ D’Alimonte.

“David Quinn brings a wealth of coaching and developmental experience across the highest levels of professional and international hockey,” said Dubas. “Quinn has a long track record of helping elite defensemen reach their full potential, and we look forward to the impact he can make on our defensive group and our entire program. Coach Quinn’s experience, character, energy and enthusiasm make him a great fit for Coach Sullivan’s coaching staff.”
