Becoming Wild: Pat Maroon

Over the summer, Becoming Wild--presented by Toyota--spent some time in Tampa, Florida as Pat Maroon prepared for his next chapter in Minnesota. His summer regimen includes time on the ice and time in the gym, but its the time with family and friends off the ice that he cherishes most.

Pat might not be superstar, but he is a guy everyone wants on their team. He can do it all.

[@smithryansmith]

The one man dynasty. He'll always be a St Louis Blue at heart, but Minni fans will love him.

[@CubeInspector]

Lol he played they're one year no he will not always be a blue at heart

[@doug2697]

This dude rules. happy to have a guy with this personality on our team. And it's always nice to have a beefy guy on a line

[@ReallyGuy858]

As a lightning fan im sad to see pat gone. Hope the best for ya Mr. Maroon thanks for making my first hockey wxperience memorable last year!

[@EmmaIsTheBomb97]

Hes safe with us dont worrry! I feel the same pain as a player being gone. You can join us WILD if you want!

[@Rick-C-117]

In a recent podcast interview he confessed he left Tampa because it’s literally the worst place in the world to live. Something about crack and hookers and carjackings and ghettos.

​@@Rick-C-117 wheb you javelin to lie to make yourself feel better 😂 there's not a player in the league that doesn't want to play for Tampa

[@kimlindfors6873]

Miss him so much in Tampa

[@drakewait1344]

I can tell I already love the big rig. Welcome to the wild Pat!

[@kanesword9528]

What a great guy. I moved to Tampa after living 40 years of my life in MN and am thrilled to have seen this and have him part of the Wild.

[@commonsensecatholics]

What a champion of a human being. Always been a Pat Maroon fan. Success breeds success. Winners win more than just games. They win arguments, they win battles that would break most people, they win peoples hearts over. Pat's a straight up legend.

[@MikeHoncho610]

Blues fan here. Him scoring that OT goal v Dallas is hands down in the top three moments for this franchise. Loved having Patty here.

[@mreppen1]

Great show. As a Canadian Leaf fan, I always thought Maroon was a dirty player but I had respect for him. Having watched this I must say Patty is a solid guy, I’m impressed.

[@benzir8668]

Every NHL team needs to do this with their roster! Great job Wild! Hockey is awesome!

[@kaze987]

Aww, I like it when the show goes into their childhood, speaks with the parents and siblings, old coaches, etc. Maybe timing wasn't there for Pat's fam. Good luck in Mini!

[@chriscarchia9442]

As a massive wild fan, i was so excited to hear we got patty

[@kendallthiede373]

He already scored two goals and picked up some assists on other goals! That's pretty good 😊

[@pintensp95]

Glad to have Pat on the team, I know it's probably not his ideal location, but hope he enjoys his time up north, and he'll be a great mentor for the younger guys.

[@katherynbowles2354]

I love pat maroon!!!❤

[@richardgab7591]

As an Edmonton Oilers fan I liked Pat Maroon, the gentle giant. Was sad to see him go to St Louis.

[@molinemedia]

Best one yet. Minny loves the big rig!

[@SherryG-ki2kr]

Saw Pat play as a young guy in the AHL. (Hershey Bears Season Ticket Holder here with seats right beside the visitor's tunnel/behind the visitor's bench. Phantoms were our biggest rivals along with the baby Pens ) Think he pretty much got the shaft from the Flyers organization. Even as a young guy, he was so much more than a pair of fists. Always thought he was a much better player than he ever got credit for. Was glad for him having so much success in St. Louis and Tampa -- winning 3 cups. He's that kinda guy you just wish would be on your team someday. Not sure how I missed this video earlier this season, but since MN didn't make the playoffs, he was able to get a trade to Boston to continue playing in the post season. Yay! He wasn't able to play right away, as he had just had black surgery. Even though Boston just lost the 2nd round series to Florida & I wish the Bs would've gone farther, I'm grateful I got to cheer for him in the spoked B. Not sure what the future holds for Patty, but I wish him (and his family) all the best.

[@Dcat75thunder]

Asa Bruins fan I hated this guy because he is so hard to play against but what a beauty. I would have him on my team all day long.

[@weatherwatchTX]

Patty lit me up in Juniors just about every time we played him lol

[@lukebergman19]

what an awesome dude.

[@Jason-vn5xj]

As a Wild fan, I LOVE seeing Big Rig in green. His highlight reel kills me. Who looks at that jaw and thinks: “Yeah. Imma punch that guy in the face.” 😂

[@kendallthiede373]

Welcome to the Wild, Pat!

[@CubeInspector]

Aaaaannnnnddddd he's gone

[@kendallthiede373]

@@CubeInspector Yup. He was only there for a couple months. Then he went to the Bruins.

[@kendallthiede373]

@@CubeInspector I got to talk to him at outdoor practice and he signed my coloring book.

That's my boss that acted like he got hit by the golf ball. We didn't know it was pat maroon, we just wanted to mess with someone. What an awesome surprise!!!

[@wadeberg4912]

Wasn't impressed with this signing when it happened, but would he's definitely an upgrade over Ryan Reaves. Happy to see he's a good guy off the ice.

So does the whole league like this guy or what?

[@mrright1068]

Wild jersey does not look right on you Big Rig. It should be a bolt on the front.

[@danielmiller1462]

Wrong he’s a stl boy. The man’s a blue

[@CubeInspector]
