Patrick Maroon (born April 23, 1988) is an American professional ice hockey left winger who currently plays for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously played for the Anaheim Ducks.
Maroon was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the sixth round, 161st overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. He was assigned to the Flyers American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate team, the Phantoms in 2007, but spent the season with the junior London Knights of the OHL before joining the Phantoms.
During the summer of 2010, Maroon led the United States men's national inline hockey team to a gold medal performance at the 2010 IIHF InLine Hockey World Championship. He scored seven goals and 14 points in six games at the in-line worlds including a goal and an assist in the gold medal game in Karlstad, Sweden, against the Czech Republic.
After nine games of the 2010–11 season, Maroon led the Adirondack Phantoms in scoring with 5 goals. He was expected to make the jump to the NHL with the Flyers that year, but on October 30, 2010, he was suddenly dismissed from the Phantoms for an undisclosed incident. Later articles indicated the team was unhappy with Maroon's lack of conditioning.
Three weeks later, on November 21, 2010, Philadelphia traded Maroon and David Laliberte to the Anaheim Ducks in return for forward Rob Bordson and defenseman Danny Syvret.
