He won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 1949. He was the first defenceman to win this award, and played the entire 1948-49 season (and a total of 138 consecutive games across three seasons) without recording a penalty. Quackenbush was a three-time first team and two-time second team All Star. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976. After his NHL career, he coached college hockey at Princeton University, leading the Princeton Men's team to one of the their best seasons in 1967-68, a 13-10-1 campaign that included winning the ECAC Christmas tournament championship.
