Pat Quinn spent more than four decades in the NHL as a player, coach, and general manager. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3902531\" data-originallang=\"en\">Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Pat \u201cThe Big Irishman\u201d Quinn played parts of nine NHL seasons as a defenceman with Toronto, Vancouver, and Atlanta. His true hockey greatness, however, shone brightest as an executive, and most notably behind the bench. Quinn won two Jack Adams Awards for NHL coach of the year, with the Flyers in 1989 and with the Canucks in 1992.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3902532\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, what I remember most is seeing him behind the bench when Canada won its first gold medal in 50 years at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. He also helped Canada bring home an under-18 gold medal, World Juniors gold, and even the World Cup gold in 2004.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3902533\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to offer my condolences to his wife Sandra, to the rest of his family, to his friends, and of course to all those whose lives were impacted by him, both on and off the ice. He will be missed.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3902530\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je prends la parole pour rendre hommage \u00e0 l'un des grands du hockey du Canada, M. Pat Quinn, qui est malheureusement d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 hier soir. Pat Quinn a consacr\u00e9 plus de 40 ans de sa vie \u00e0 la LNH, que ce soit comme joueur, entra\u00eeneur ou directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3902531\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pat Quinn \u2014 \u00ab le grand Irlandais \u00bb comme on l'appelait \u2014 est n\u00e9 \u00e0 Hamilton, en Ontario. Il a jou\u00e9 comme d\u00e9fenseur pendant neuf saisons dans la LNH \u00e0 Toronto, \u00e0 Vancouver et \u00e0 Atlanta. Cela dit, c'est comme cadre, mais surtout comme entra\u00eeneur, qu'il nous a montr\u00e9 la pleine mesure de son talent dans le milieu du hockey. Ainsi, il a remport\u00e9 deux fois le troph\u00e9e Jack Adams, qui est remis annuellement au meilleur entra\u00eeneur de la LNH, la premi\u00e8re fois en 1989, lorsqu'il \u00e9tait l'entra\u00eeneur des Flyers, puis en 1992, lorsqu'il \u00e9tait l'entra\u00eeneur des Canucks.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3902532\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce dont je me souviens le plus, c'est qu'il \u00e9tait l'entra\u00eeneur de l'\u00e9quipe canadienne lorsque celle-ci a remport\u00e9 sa premi\u00e8re m\u00e9daille d'or en 50 ans, lors des Jeux olympiques de 2002, \u00e0 Salt Lake City. Il a aussi aid\u00e9 le Canada \u00e0 remporter l'or au championnat des moins de 18 ans, au championnat du monde junior et m\u00eame \u00e0 la Coupe du monde de 2004.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3902533\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je tiens \u00e0 offrir mes condol\u00e9ances \u00e0 sa femme, Sandra, de m\u00eame qu'aux autres membres de sa famille, \u00e0 ses amis et, bien entendu, \u00e0 tous ceux qu'il a marqu\u00e9s, tant sur la patinoire qu'\u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur de celle-ci. Il nous manquera.</p>"
