Pats NHLers

Here is a list of every ex-Pats player to lace them up for an NHL franchise. 

The page has been updated to the end of the 2023-2024 regular season. If you know of any corrections that need to be looked into, please email me at kevin@theblueliner.com.

Notes: The column labelled "Pats" is the season or seasons the player played with the Regina Pats. The column labelled "NHL" is the season or seasons that the player played games in the National Hockey League. They may not have played in every season that is listed but they bookend their career (first/last). Bolded players are players who played at least one NHL contest during the 2023-24 season.
