Nolan Patrick (born September 19, 1998) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre. He has played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Philadelphia Flyers and Vegas Golden Knights. The Flyers selected Patrick second overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.

Early life

[edit]

Patrick was born September 19, 1998, in Winnipeg, Manitoba,[1] as the second of Carrie and Steve Patrick's three children.[2] He began practicing ice hockey on a backyard ice rink built by his father, a former National Hockey League (NHL) player, and as Patrick became more serious about the sport, his father converted their garage into an indoor gym and practice area.[3] Beginning at the age of 11, he also practiced with his uncle James, another retired NHL player, at their families' cabins in Falcon Lake.[4]

He was awarded the 2015 Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as the league's rookie of the year.[5][6] He added another eight goals and 15 points in 19 playoff games for the Wheat Kings,[7] who lost to the Kelowna Rockets in the final round of the Ed Chynoweth Cup.[8]

[edit]

On July 17, 2021, the Flyers traded Patrick and Philippe Myers to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Ryan Ellis. While Nashville retained Myers, they traded Patrick the same day to the Vegas Golden Knights, receiving Cody Glass in return.[9] The trade reunited Patrick with Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon, who had been his coach with the Wheat Kings.[10]

  • 2021-22

During the 2022 offseason, McCrimmon told reporters that Patrick had made "no significant progress" in his recovery and that he would likely begin the 2022–23 season on long-term injured reserve.[11] On September 22, the team announced that Patrick, along with Robin Lehner and Shea Weber, would miss the entire season.[12] The Golden Knights did not give Patrick a qualifying offer for the 2023–24 season, making him an unrestricted free agent.[13]
