Posted on Sept. 13: Trim Quinn chats with Mac alumni

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/Pat_Quinn_1.jpg” caption=”Pat Quinn”]A trimmed down Pat Quinn had lunch at McMaster Thursday.

The head coach of Canada's gold medal winning men's ice hockey for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, and general manager and head coach of The Toronto Maple Leafs, opened McMaster's fall luncheon series.

The Toronto Maple Leafs' quest for the Stanley Cup, why goaltender Curtis Joseph didn't re-sign with the Leafs and the diet which helped him trim about 45 pounds off his 300-pound figure were some of the topics he fielded from Steve Milton, sports writer for the Hamilton Spectator.

Quinn provided a lively discussion at the Hamilton Convention Centre on his career, his Olympic memories and the drive to bring the Stanley Cup back to Toronto.

The MAC Luncheon Series is one of the McMaster Alumni Association's marquee events, attracting business and community leaders as well as alumni and friends of the University with its attention to topical issues presented by high calibre speakers. The committee is expanding the series to include a dinner event to be held at the University.
In addition to the Pat Quinn luncheon, the series fall line-up includes:

Oct. 2 — Ajon Moriyama, partner, Moriyama & Teshima Architects and designer of the McMaster University Student Centre, discussing the process behind designing a building that will become the focal point of an already developed campus.

Oct. 22 — Paul E. Kenyon, co-chair, Commercial Production Association of Toronto and president, Absolute Location Support Services discusses Hollywood North: Fact or Fiction.

Nov. 7 — Kevin Smith, president and chief executive officer, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton will take a look into the future of healthcare as he discusses new technologies, disease trends, the impact of gene research as well as other important issues.
