<p>They may all be teammates right now, but every Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguin player followed a different path to becoming a professional hockey player. From the time they first stood on skates, there have been influential coaches, lessons learned and players they wanted to emulate.</p><p>Each week we&#8217;ll take a look at how each Penguin player got their early start in the sport.</p><p><strong>Gage Quinney </strong></p><p><strong>Position:</strong> Left wing</p><p><strong>Age:</strong> 22</p><p><strong>Hometown:</strong> Las Vegas, Nev.</p><p><strong>How old were you when you began skating?</strong> &#8220;I started at 4 years old in Germany. My dad played overseas in the German League with the Frankfurt Lions at the time.&#8221;</p><p><strong>How old were you when you began playing hockey?</strong> &#8220;I started organized hockey at age 5 or 6 in Las Vegas, where I was born. Even in Vegas there are opportunities for young kids to play hockey.&#8221;</p><p><strong>Who had the biggest influence on your start in hockey?</strong> &#8220;My dad (Ken Quinney). He played at the highest level and he really influenced me to play hockey.&#8221;</p><p><strong>What important lesson did you learn as a kid that you still apply to your game today? </strong>&#8220;Just have fun with it. I know it&#8217;s a job but you always want to have fun playing hockey. Not too many people get to do this as a job so you have to stay with it every day.&#8221;</p><p><strong>What advice do you have for a young player?</strong> &#8220;Have fun. That&#8217;s the main thing as a young kid. Playing the sport you love growing up, with your buddies all the time, just have fun with it.&#8221;</p><style>
