After retiring from the NHL not long ago, former Boston Bruins forward Pat Maroon has made his decision on what he is going to do after the NHL.
Recently, Maroon retired from the NHL after appearing in 14 seasons and hoisting the Stanley Cup three times in his career.
Many believed that he would have a career in media following the NHL, but he decided to go a different route.
In the past couple of months, Maroon has appeared on several shows and podcast, causing some speculation that he could join media in his next step of his life.
His next move was just announced to the media, and it was revealed that he will be joining a team as a coach instead.

It was announced that Maroon will be joining the coaching staff of Muskegon Lumberjacks in the USHL.
Their president ended up releasing a statement on the hiring:
"We are excited to add Pat to our coaching staff. As a program, we are always self-evaluating on how we get better. When this opportunity was presented to us, it was hard to turn down."
"Adding someone like Pat, who has three Stanley Cup rings, is something that doesn't come along very often. Pat will be a great mentor for our players, coaching staff, and everyone at the Muskegon Lumberjacks."
"We are excited to welcome Pat and can't wait to see his impact on our players and coaches."

Maroon is bringing a bunch of experience to their team, and knows exactly what it takes to win not just any game, but important games as well.
Best of luck to Pat on his new adventure.
