Three-time Stanley Cup winner Patrick Maroon will be hanging up the skates after this season.

The Blackhawks forward made the announcement Saturday ahead of Chicago’s game against the host St. Louis Blues, his hometown team and the one he won his first Stanley Cup.

“Sometimes, you’ve got to give up everything you know and everything you dreamed of your whole life,” Maroon told Darren Pang on Chicago Sports Network. “I just know it’s time for me and it’s time for my family to go start a new chapter in our lives.”

The soon-to-be 37-year-old helped bring the Blues their first Stanley Cup in franchise history in 2019. He was subsequently traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning and won another two Cups in 2020 and 2021, becoming only the fourth player in league history to win the Cup three straight seasons with two different teams.

“It’s tough,” said Maroon, whose family was in attendance at Saturday’s game. “It’s hard to go through things like this. You can’t really process it, but I think it’s special for me and my family to go start a new chapter.”

Drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the sixth round of the 2007 NHL Draft, Maroon has tallied 320 points (125 goals, 195 assists) and 1,071 penalty minutes in 839 games over 14 seasons with the Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers, New Jersey Devils, Blues, Lightning, Wild, Boston Bruins and Blackhawks.

He has 23 goals and 30 assists in 163 career postseason games.
