PORTLAND, ME – Aug 22, 2024 – The Maine Mariners announced the signing of forward Patrick Guay on Thursday. A 2022 draft pick of the Vegas Golden Knights, Guay has spent time in both the ECHL and American Hockey League over the last two seasons.
Guay, 22, is a native of Magog, QC. During his final season of junior hockey with the Charlottetown Islanders in 2021-22, he posted 104 points (55 goals, 49 assists) in 68 games, which ranked in fifth among all scorers in the Quebec Martimes Junior Hockey League. He followed it up with an even bigger postseason performance, registering 28 points (13 goals, 15 assists) in 15 playoff games. Thanks to his big year, Guay was selected by the Golden Knights in the fifth round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft: 145th overall.
Over his first two pro seasons, Guay has played in Vegas’ minor league system, splitting time between the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights and the ECHL’s Savannah Ghost Pirates. At the ECHL level, he’s clipped at over a point per game, with 81 points (27 goals, 54 assists) in 74 career games. He was Savannah’s leading scorer in 2022-23, with 52 points in 49 games. This past season, he posted 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) in 25 games. Guay has skated in an additional 33 games for Henderson since 2022.
Patrick’s brother, Nicolas played in the North Division for the Trois-Rivieres Lions the previous two season. Their father, Francois is also a former pro, playing one NHL game for the Buffalo Sabres, as well as three seasons for the AHL’s Rochester Americans.
“It was an overall a really good fit with the Mariners and I’m really pumped for it,” said Guay. “Getting some wins, cheers from the fans, and getting to meet the new players and staff, that’s what I’m really excited about this year. I feel like we can do something really good.”
