During Saturday’s game, the Blues played a tribute on the scoreboard during the second period – giving fans a chance to salute their hometown hero one more time. Maroon, not surprisingly, got emotional.

In 2019, Maroon scored a double-overtime game-winner in a second-round Game 7 against Dallas, helping the Blues to the Western Conference Final for the first time in 15 years. That season, Maroon recorded seven points in 26 playoff games, powering the Blues to their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history. Maroon would also go on to win two more championships (2020, 2021) with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Maroon will likely end his career in Chicago with more than 800 career games played.

Oakville, and the rest of the St. Louis, couldn’t be more proud.
