As a boy growing up I always used my father as a mentor and a figure of how I would expect to excel throughout my life. For the San Jose Sharks number one goaltender Evgeni Nabokov, the story is exactly the same.

The Man Behind the Mask: Jon Quick
The second installment of “The Man Behind the Mask” takes a look at the road to the National Hockey League for Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick. We hope you enjoy this weekly installment only on NHL Hot Stove.
Jonathan Quick rose quickly through the ranks on his road to the National Hockey League. Born in Hamden, Connecticut on January 21st, 1986, this east coast native now shoulders the load for the youngest team in the League.
Selected in the third round (72nd overall) in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, Quick emerged as one of the leagues young, up-and-coming netminders in the game today. So much so that Team USA selected the 23-year-old with hopes of him getting his feet wet in international competition.
His journey began on his high school team in Hamden where they named him to the New Haven Register All-Area Ice Hockey team. He then starred in the famed Avon Old Farms hockey, similar to another famous USA Hockey Hall of Famer, Brian Leetch.
While at Old Farms, Quick led the team to two straight New England Prep Championships holding the all time New England prep school record for most shutouts in a season (9) during his senior year. His stay there showed signs of things to come.
