It seems reports of Nolan Patrick's retirement from the NHL may have been premature. His family is disputing reports that the 2nd overall pick in 2017 has decided to hang up his skates.
News of Patrick's apparent retirement came out this morning and originated with Dylan Robillards of The Hockey News.
However, Global News and Elliotte Friedman are both confirming that they've either talked to Patrick himself, or a member of his family who says the reports aren't true.
"Global News has confirmed with the family of Golden Knights F Nolan Patrick the 25 year-old has NOT retired from hockey."
"Reached out to Patrick today, he politely declined to talk...but did text to say he has not officially retired. It's clear he prefers to stay under the radar."
Patrick hasn't played since the 2021-22 season as he deals with concussion symptoms, making news of his retirement not that difficult to believe. However, it looks like he's still trying to make a comeback, or hasn't really made a decision one way or the other yet.
