Collect this Vancouver Canucks jersey, signed by Quinn Hughes!
Quinn Hughes is a defenseman who models his game after Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks and Kris Letang of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He played at the University of Michigan, where he scored 29 points (five goals, 24 assists) as a freshman. After helping the U.S. finish at the 2018 IIHF World Championship, Hughes was selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the first round (No. 7) of the 2018 NHL Draft. Hughes played one more season at Michigan, scoring 33 points in 32 games before signing with the Canucks on March 10, 2019. After recovering from an ankle injury sustained during the Big Ten playoffs, Hughes made his NHL debut with the Canucks 18 days later, had an assist and was named Third Star of the Game in a 3-2 shootout win against the Los Angeles Kings. He was impressive enough in his first full NHL season to earn a spot on the Pacific Division roster for the 2020 Honda NHL All-Star Game. His assist on J.T. Miller's power-play goal against the Ottawa Senators on Feb. 27 was his 43rd of the season and 24th point on the man-advantage to set new Canucks records by a rookie. He scored 53 points before the season was paused March 12 due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus, second in Canucks history by a rookie defenseman behind Dale Tallon's 56 in 1970-71.
The native of Orlando, Florida, is the son of Jim Hughes, who was a captain at Providence College and has been an assistant with the Boston Bruins and director of player development for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Hughes' mother, Ellen Weinberg-Hughes, played hockey at the University of New Hampshire and finished second for the United States at the 1992 IIHF Women's World Championship. Younger brothers Jack Hughes (taken No. 1 by the New Jersey Devils in the 2019 NHL Draft) and Luke Hughes also play hockey, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see all three Hughes brothers in the League during the 2020s.
