History
Quick was drafted in the third round, 78th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2006 NHL draft.
2004-05: Quick was one of only five sophomores to make the Salisbury varsity hockey team, he was the only sophomore defenseman on the team. He finished the season with 12 points (three goals, nine assists) and a +/- of 19. His 12 points were third most for a sophomore, and his +/- was the best for a sophomore. He helped the team finish with a record of 23-3-1 and go on to win the Flood-Marr Title.
2005-06: Quick traveled to Slovakia with the Team USA U-17 for a summer tournament and helped the squad win a gold medal. Quick returned for his junior year with Salisbury and played very well, totaling 23 points in 28 games.
2007-08: After leaving behind a successful campaign at Salisbury High School in Connecticut, Quick started this season off at the Univeristy of Michigan (CCHA). He was dismissed from that program, however, and then decided to turn pro and join up with the Norfolk Admirals (AHL). He registered four helpers with Norfolk in 18 games. He’ll certainly return there next season as he has plenty of potential at the AHL level.
Talent Analysis
The smooth-skating, offensively skilled (yet defensively responsible) playmaking defenseman was invited to Tampa Bay’s summer prospect camp. Quick made perhaps the biggest impact of any of the invites, bringing dynamic playmaking ability with levelheaded decision-making far beyond his years to camp.
Future
Needs to move past his legal difficulties and become acclimated at the AHL level.
