History
2004-05: The University of Massachusetts will have an outstanding addition to their roster this fall when goaltender Jonathan Quick arrives. Quick led the Avon Old Farms Winged Beavers to their second consecutive New England Division I National Championship and was named to the All-New England Division I West First Team. He set new school records in shutouts (9) and goals against average (1.19). One of the most telling stats about Quick’s performance this past season is the fact that he allowed one goal or less in 19 of his 27 outings.
2005-06: Saddled with a young defense in front of him, Quick performed as well as can be expected for UMass. As backup, Quick posted the same .920 save percentage as the senior starter and faced an average of 37 shots per game. Quick will assume the full-time starting goaltender position next fall.
2006-07: Now with a more mature and experienced team in front of him, Quick emerged as one of the best goaltenders in NCAA hockey in his sophomore season. Quick was fifth in NCAA hockey with a .929 save percentage, including a 2.16 goals-against average and a 19-12-1 record. Quick led UMass to their first ever berth in the NCAA hockey tournament, including a first round shutout upset of No. 1 ranked Clarkson and was named team MVP for the season.
Talent Analysis
Quick is an athletic butterfly style goalie who moves laterally across the crease well and stays square to the shooter. Sometimes plays high on the crease, with a solid glove hand, challenging the opposition and cutting down on the angles. He is also an intense competitor and is best known for never giving up on a play.
Avon Old Farms head coach John Gardner’s insights on Quick, “Jon’s best attributes are his athleticism, competitiveness and confidence.”
Future
Quick signed a contract with the Los Angeles Kings during the 2007 offseason, foregoing two years of college hockey eligibility. With Bernier in front of him on the depth charts, there is no need to press Quick into duty. Quick has the talent to develop into a star NHL goaltender. However, a solid starting goaltender is a more realistic projection.
