Nolan Patrick (born September 19, 1998) is a Canadian ice hockey player. He currently serves as captain of the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League (WHL).

Playing career

Junior

Prior to joining the Western Hockey League, Patrick recorded 75 points in 19 games for the Winnipeg Hawks of the AAA Bantam Hockey League Division 1 during its 2012-13 season.[1] He missed nearly half of the season due to a shoulder injury, but nonetheless was regarded as a highly-touted prospect.[1][2]

Patrick was selected by the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL in 1st round (4th overall) in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. In December 2013, during the midst of the Wheat Kings' 2013-14 season, a high number of injuries to the roster caused him to be called up from the Midget AAA Winnipeg Thrashers.[3] He was initially unavailable upon being called up due to an undisclosed injury, but eventually played three games with the Wheat Kings before being reassigned to the Thrashers.[3][4] He began his rookie season in the 2014–15 season, where he scored 30 goals and 56 points in 55 games. Between mid-February and mid-March 2015, Patrick missed 12 games with an upper-body injury, although initial reports were that it was a lower-body injury.[5][6][7] He was subsequently awarded the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as the WHL’s rookie of the year.[8]

During the 2015–16 season, Patrick finished fifth in league scoring and was the first 17-year old Wheat King to score over 100 points since 1976-77.[9] He played an integral part in winning the Ed Chynoweth Cup, leading all players in post-season points and was named the WHL Playoff MVP.[10] After the season, it was revealed that Patrick had suffered a sports hernia injury on April 27, 2016 during Game 4 of the WHL's Eastern Conference Final series against the Red Deer Rebels and had played through the WHL Finals and 2016 Memorial Cup with the injury.[11] Following the 2015-16 campaign, he received sports hernia surgery.[11]

For the 2016–17 season season, Patrick was named captain of the Wheat Kings. Beginning the season, Patrick was widely considered the top prospect of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. Dan Marr, NHL director of Central Scouting said "Patrick is as complete an NHL package as you are going to find. From his pedigree, his skills, and assets, to his performance impact to date, he has everything any NHL team is looking for in a top prospect."[12] After playing six games to begin the season, however, the Wheat Kings announced on October 14, 2016 that Patrick had once again been sidelined with an upper-body injury.[13] Despite initially being diagnosed as day-to-day, the injury continued through November, when it was revealed to be a complication of the previous season's sports hernia injury.[14] On December 5, 2016, Hockey Canada announced that Patrick had not been medically cleared to participate in Team Canada's 2017 World Junior training camp and thus would not play in the 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.[15]

Personal

He is the son of former NHL forward Steve Patrick and nephew of former NHL defenceman James Patrick. His grandfather Stephen Patrick was a player for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and a politician. He has two sisters that also play hockey. His older sister Madison plays for the University of British Columbia and his younger sister Amy plays minor bantam in Winnipeg.[16]
