In 2010, he earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team, backing up Ryan Miller and earning a silver medal in Vancouver. Four years later, Quic took the starting role in the 2014 Sochi Olympics. In an epic eight- round shoot out, he stopped Pavel Datsyuk and other Russian stars several times, holding the fort as T.J. Oshie scored on four of his six attempts, giving Team USA a historic win. "It was stressful but a ton of fun, and just an honor to wear the USA jersey," Quick recalled. "It's a moment I'll cherish forever." A f e w m o n t h s l a t e r, t h e K i n g s f e l l b e h i n d t h r e e games to none in the first round of the playoffs, with Quick giving up 17 goals. But then he found his mojo, and the Kings won four straight and never looked back, eventually beating the Rangers in five games for the franchise's second Cup. He played 16 seasons in LA and in a late-sea- son trade in 2023 was sent to Vegas, just in time to earn a third ring.

On April 13, he announced it was time to retire and later that night played his final game, on the road against the Florida Panthers. That game reflected the respect Jonathan Quick had earned for his play and character on and off the ice. The Rangers all warmed up in jerseys with Quick's number, 32. After the final horn, the Panthers remained on the ice and lined up to shake his hand. What's he going to do now? Well, he's coaching Carter and Cash, and Cash, like his old man, is a goaltender. "I'm on the ice with them four times a week and having a blast with that," he said. "I'd like to stay involved in hockey as much as I can and take the opportunity to be with my wife and kids as much as I can." There is one event that's likely to show up on his calendar, and soon probably—a trip to Toronto and a date with hockey immortality in the Hall of Fame.
