Nolan James Patrick (born September 19, 1998) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who currently plays for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted second overall by the Flyers in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
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. He missed nearly half of the season due to a shoulder injury, but nonetheless was regarded as a highly touted prospect.
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. He was initially unavailable upon being called up due to a shoulder injury, and did not play during the call-up. He eventually played three games with the Wheat Kings at the conclusion of his Winnipeg Thrashers' season. 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. He was subsequently awarded the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as the WHL’s rookie of the year despite missing a total of 17 games that season.
