Personal: Also known as Dave Quinn during his playing days.
Rare Disease Ends NHL Dream: Following his junior season at Boston University in 1987, Quinn tried out for the 1988 U.S. Olympic team. During this time, he was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder known as Christmas Disease. The condition prevented his blood from clotting properly when he was cut, and made it impossible for him to keep playing. Despite his great potential, it appeared he would never play hockey again. But while Quinn was out of the game, medicine to treat his condition became available -- enabling him to attempt a comeback if he was willing to inject himself with the medication four times each day. The medicine, however, was very expensive -- costing hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Quinn managed to find funding for the treatments and began his comeback by joining the U.S. Olympic team for its 1991-92 pre-OIympic tour. Although he was a late cut from the team, Quinn had proved that he could play again. He signed a tryout contract with the New York Rangers and finished the 1991-92 season with Binghamton (AHL). He then played the entire 1992-93 season with Cleveland (IHL) before retiring for good in 1993.
