Last night in St. Louis, the atmosphere was electric, emotional, and filled with gratitude as Blues fans came together to salute one of their own—Pat Maroon. The veteran forward, who announced he would retire at the end of this NHL season, was met with a standing ovation during the second period of his final game in St. Louis. It was a moment that embodied everything Maroon has meant to this city and to hockey fans across the league.
Maroon, a St. Louis native, has had an incredible career, one that saw him lift the Stanley Cup three times and become a beloved figure in the sport. But beyond the championships, beyond the highlight-reel goals, Maroon's impact was felt in the way he played the game—with heart, toughness, and an unshakable connection to his hometown.

As the Blackhawks faced off against the Blues, every shift Maroon took felt more significant. The anticipation of the fans grew, and when the second period rolled around, the entire arena erupted. It wasn’t just applause; it was an acknowledgment of years of dedication, passion, and unforgettable moments. Fans held up signs, cheered his name, and gave him the recognition he truly deserved. Maroon, clearly moved by the gesture, raised his stick to the crowd in appreciation, soaking in the love from the city he grew up in.
This farewell in St. Louis is just part of Maroon’s incredible journey. From playing junior hockey to grinding his way through the AHL, he carved out a career that most can only dream of. He became known as a reliable power forward, a leader in the locker room, and a player who could always be counted on when the stakes were highest. His role in the Blues’ 2019 Stanley Cup run was legendary, including a clutch Game 7 overtime goal against the Dallas Stars that will forever be remembered in St. Louis hockey history.
As Maroon prepares to hang up his skates, his legacy is set. He’s not just a three-time Stanley Cup champion; he’s a symbol of perseverance, a hometown hero who got to live out his dream and bring joy to the people of St. Louis. The NHL will miss his presence on the ice, but his impact will be felt for years to come. And for Blues fans, last night was a chance to say thank you to one of their own—one final salute to a true warrior of the game.
