Now-retired NHL forward Pat Maroon, who called it a career after winning 3 Stanley Cups, has already landed himself a new job and it's right up his alley.
3-time Stanley Cup winner Pat Maroon has officially hung up his skates, as he announced last month that this most recent season with the Chicago Blackhawks would be his last in the NHL.
It's tough. Sometimes you've got to give up everything you know and everything you've dreamed of your whole life. I just know it's time for me and it's time for my family to go start a new chapter in our lives.
It's hard to go through things like this, you can't really process it, but I think it's best for me and my family to go start a new chapter.

Having played for the Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers, New Jersey Devils, St. Louis Blues, Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins, Minnesota Wild and Blackhawks, Maroon leaves the game after amassing 323 points (126G, 197A) in 848 games.
He lifted the Cup every year from 2019 to 2021; once with the Blues and twice in a row with the Lightning. He and Tampa Bay then went to a 3rd-consecutive Cup Final before losing to the Colorado Avalanche in 2022.
He didn't have to wait long to find his new gig, as he'll be joining the NHL on TNT's desk for next Monday's slate of Stanley Cup Playoff action.
Maroon isn't the only multi-Stanley Cup winner to have announced his retirement from the NHL.
Marc-Andre Fleury, who was taken 1st overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, is now retired after completing his 20th year in the League.
