Patrick Joseph Hickey (born May 15, 1953) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey left winger who played 10 seasons in the NHL for the New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Quebec Nordiques and St. Louis Blues.
Born in Brantford, Ontario, Hickey was drafted 30th overall by the New York Rangers in the 1973 NHL Amateur Draft. His nickname was "Hitch". He played 646 career NHL games, scoring 192 goals and 212 assists for 404 points. Hickey was a popular player during his time with the NY Rangers. In 1978, when the Rangers acquired Swedish stars Anders Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson from the WHA's Winnipeg Jets, Hickey was selected to play on a line with them in part because of his speed and scoring ability.
Hickey would later be part of a high scoring line in Toronto, along with Rick Vaive and Bill Derlago.
Hickey began his financial service career as an account executive on Wall Street with the New York City investment banking firm of Drexel Burnham Lambert upon retirement from the National Hockey League in 1985. In 1988, he was appointed General Manager of the Los Angeles Kings American Hockey League (AHL) development program in New Haven, Connecticut and was subsequently awarded "Executive of the Year" honours in 1992. This award was based on his management of an independent franchise and initiation/completion of the AHL expansion plan. For six years, Hickey was active at the ownership level as well as serving the AHL on Finance, Marketing and NHL Liaison & Development committees as a League Governor.
