Happy St. Patrick’s Day! For an Original Six franchise in a city with so much Irish history, the Chicago Blackhawks have a serious deficiency in the Patrick department. Seriously! When I wanted to put together a list of Blackhawks players who were named Patrick, the list was easy to start with Stapleton, 88 and 10.
But… wow. After that? The only one I could think of quickly was Patrick Poulin — because he was acquired in the Steve Larmer trade. After doing some research I don’t feel bad for not coming up with anyone else because there really haven’t been that many. In fact, including last names, there have only been seven players with the name Patrick.
Patrick Kane, RW — 1,161 games (2007-23), 446 goals, 779 assists
Patrick Sharp, C/LW — 749 games (2005-15, 2017-18), 249 goals, 283 assists
Pat Stapleton, D — 545 games (1965-73), 41 goals, 286 assists
Patrick Poulin, C — 131 games (1993-96), 34 goals, 36 assists
Pat Lundy, C — 61 games (1951), 9 goals, 9 assists
Pat Ribble, D — 35 games (1979-80), 2 goals, 5 assists
Pat Shea, D — 10 games (1932), 1 assist
