Boston University's David Quinn to coach U.S. at 2019 world juniors

Boston University's David Quinn will coach the United States at the 2019 World Junior Hockey Championship, USA Hockey announced Friday.

Quinn, who has been at Boston U since 2013, joins the coaching staff having previously served as an assistant coach at the 2016 World Championship, where the Americans finished fourth, and as an assistant coach with the Colorado Avalanche during the 2012-13 season.

"We're thrilled to have David leading our national junior team," executive director of USA Hockey Pat Kelleher said in a release. "He knows the international stage and our player pool extremely well and has been a big part of our program for a long time. We know that David and our outstanding group of assistant coaches will do a tremendous job with our team."

Mike Hastings of Minnesota State, David Lassonde of Dartmouth College, and Steve Miller of Ohio State University will round out Quinn's staff.

The Americans are coming off a bronze-medal finish at this year's tournament in Buffalo. The 2019 installment will take place in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia.
