He has previously played in the National Hockey League for the Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, Colorado Avalanche, Tampa Bay Lightning, New Jersey Devils Columbus Blue Jackets and the Minnesota Wild.
context_section_description: On July 28, 2005, Quincey was signed by the Detroit Red Wings to a three-year, entry level contract. He was assigned to the Wings' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, to begin his first professional season in 2005–06. He finished the season fifth among rookie defencemen in the AHL with seven goals and 33 points in 70 games, while also making his NHL debut with Detroit against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim on November 25, 2005.
  Qunicey was again assigned to the Griffins the following season. As a late call-up, he scored his first NHL goal in the last game of the Red Wings' 2006–07 regular season in a 7–2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on April 7, 2007. He scored in the second period against Patrick Lalime, which turned out to be the final Red Wing goal of the regular season. After injuries to defencemen Niklas Kronwall and Mathieu Schneider, Quincey was thrust into play just as the playoffs had begun. He first played in Game 6, an overtime victory for Detroit against the Calgary Flames that enabled the Wings to move on to the second round to play the San Jose Sharks. After dispatching San Jose, the Red Wings eventually lost to the Anaheim Ducks in six games in the Western Conference Final.
  Slated to make the Detroit roster after an impressive 13-game playoff performance, Kyle suffered a setback after suffering a broken hand in training camp, forcing him to miss the entire 2007–08 pre-season. Quincey returned and played the majority of the year with Grand Rapids, scoring 20 points in 66 games. He was used as an call-up from the Griffins in February to play six games for Detroit in the regular season. During the 2008 playoffs, he was on the practice roster for the team as the Red Wings eventually captured the Stanley Cup over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Although the Red Wings included him on the Stanley Cup-winning picture, and was awarded a Stanley Cup ring. He however, did not qualify to be inscribed on the Stanley Cup.
  Entering the 2008–09 season, Quincey was re-signed to a two-year contract on September 9, 2008.
