NHL Veteran Pat Maroon Announces Retirement After 14 Seasons

The three-time Stanley Cup champion will step away from hockey at the end of the season to focus on his family and begin a new chapter.

Pat Maroon announced his retirement during a pregame interview before the Chicago Blackhawks faced the St. Louis Blues in his hometown of St. Louis.
Maroon, who turns 37 in April, cited his desire to prioritize family and start a new chapter in his life as key reasons for his decision.
Over his 14-season NHL career, Maroon played for eight teams and became one of only four players in league history to win three consecutive Stanley Cups with two different teams.
He was a critical part of the St. Louis Blues' first-ever championship in 2019 and won back-to-back titles with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 and 2021.
Maroon and his wife Francesca are expecting their second child this spring, adding personal significance to his decision to retire.
