Boston University head coach David Quinn has been tasked with leading the United States National Junior Team to a third straight medal at the 2019 World Junior Championship, USA Hockey announced on Friday.
The Cranston, R.I., native just completed his fifth season as the Terriers’ bench boss. Prior to his most recent stint on Commonwealth Ave., Quinn was an assistant coach with the Colorado Avalanche. Before that he was the head coach of the AHL’s Lake Erie Monsters for three seasons. Previous college gigs included tenures as an assistant coach at Northeastern, Nebraska-Omaha and Boston University. He also guided the U.S. NTDP for two seasons.
Quinn was an associate head coach in 2009 when BU won its last national championship. As head coach, he’s guided the Terriers to two Hockey East Tournament Championships.
A first-round pick of the Minnesota North Stars in the 1984 NHL Draft, Quinn played three seasons for Jack Parker’s Terriers before an injury sidelined his playing career.
Assisting Quinn for the U.S. National Junior Team will be Minnesota State head coach Mike Hastings, Dartmouth associate head coach Dave Lassonde, and Ohio State associate head coach Steve Miller.
