Vancouver Canucks' Conor Garland welcomes baby boy named Quinton inspired by jaws (Source: Imagn)
Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland and his wife Meghan have welcomed their first child, a boy named Quinton. The name pays tribute to Quint, a character from the classic movie Jaws. Coach Rick Tocchet confirmed the news, jokingly clarifying that the name wasn’t inspired by team captain Quinn Hughes. Garland’s love for sharks, well-documented in interviews, was the real inspiration.
Quint, portrayed as a rugged shark hunter in Jaws, aligns with Garland’s fascination with ocean predators. In the past, Garland shared his admiration for sharks.
“I love sharks,” Garland said, via Sportsnet. “I grew up on the ocean — I actually don’t swim in the ocean, because I know that they’re closer than people think. I don’t know, I just love sharks.”
