A life-sized bronze statue, located outside Rogers Arena near Pat Quinn Way, was unveiled Saturday night before the Canucks home game.
Quinn played for the Canucks as a defenceman in the early 70's and returned to coach the team for six seasons in the 90's. During that time, the Canucks made a legendary cup run in the '93-'94 season, only to lose in game 7 of the finals. He also served as the team's president and general manager.
The former coach died at the age of 71 in 2014 following a long illness.
The sculpture also includes "Pat's Bench" — a facsimile of the spot where Quinn conversed with Canadian Olympic athletes outside of Canada House in Salt Lake City during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
"It's where Pat loved to be," said Canucks president Trevor Linden, a former Vancouver captain who took part in the unveiling ceremony. "He loved to be behind the bench."
The statue was created by Norm Williams, who also sculpted a nearby statue that depicts late Canucks coach Roger Neilson waving a white towel on the end of a hockey stick during the 1982 Stanley Cup finals.
A post-secondary scholarship in Quinn's name has also been established for hockey players and other athletes.
