Quintin Jerome Hughes is an American professional ice hockey player who is a defenseman for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL). Hughes was drafted seventh overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2018 NHL entry draft and played his first seven seasons with the team, serving as captain from 2023 until his trade to the Wild in 2025. Before the draft, he was considered a top prospect. Showing impressive offensive prowess as a defenseman since the beginning of his time with the Canucks, he was nominated for the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league's best rookie in 2020. He holds several Canucks and NHL records for defensemen, and won the James Norris Memorial Trophy in 2024 as the NHL's best defenseman.
