Frederick Murray "Muzz" Patrick (June 28, 1915 – July 27, 1998) was a Canadian ice hockey player, coach, and general manager.
He was part of the Patrick family, which had a long association with hockey: his father Lester had previously worked as the Rangers coach and manager, among other roles; his uncle Frank had founded the Pacific Coast Hockey Association with Lester; and Muzz's brother Lynn had played on the Rangers with him and later coached and managed the Boston Bruins.
[1] After the war, Patrick played for the Rangers for one season and in 1946 left the team to accept a position as a player-coach with the St. Paul Saints of the United States Hockey League.
[8] During the Second World War both he and Lynn enlisted in the US Army in 1942; though not American citizens they were eligible based on their residency status in the United States.
Patrick was initially stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, though also served on transports overseas in Africa, Italy, and France.
