Jordan Quick retires from NHL

Quick's retirement marks the end of an era for one of the most decorated American goaltenders in hockey history.

Known for his acrobatic style and postseason dominance, he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP during the Kings' 2012 championship run.

His final season with the New York Rangers saw him revive his career in a backup role, providing veteran leadership for a team that ultimately missed the playoffs.

Quick is widely expected to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when he becomes eligible in three years.
