For three generations the family name of Patrick has been synonymous with the sport of hockey and the National Hockey League. Mr. Patrick's grandfather, Lester Patrick, was the longtime coach and general manager of the New York Rangers. In his honor, the Lester Patrick Trophy is awarded annually for "outstanding service to hockey in the United States." It was Lester who instilled in his family the desire to remain active in the advancement of the sport of hockey and the National Hockey League. Mr. Patrick's father, Muzz, and uncle, Lynn, both played on the 1940 New York Rangers team that captured the Stanley Cup. In October 2012, Dick Patrick was awarded the Lester Patrick Trophy for his contributions to hockey in the United States. Mr. Patrick and his son, Chris, who is the Capitals director of player personnel, became the sixth and seventh members of the Patrick family to win the Stanley Cup in 2018, a tradition that goes back 100 years in their legendary family.

Mr. Patrick's cousin, Craig Patrick, played for the Capitals from 1977-79. He won two Stanley Cups as general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins and was enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame in November 2001 in the "builder" category.

Before Mr. Patrick's arrival, the Capitals had never advanced to postseason play. In his 39 seasons with the club, Washington has qualified for the playoffs 32 times - including the team's Stanley Cup championship in 2018, the run to the Stanley Cup Final in 1998 and three Presidents' Trophy-winning teams (2009-10, 2015-16, 2016-17). During the 2010s, the Capitals (465-232-0-90) recorded the most wins of any team and only trailed the Montreal Canadiens of the 1970s (501-160-130-0) and the Boston Bruins of the 1970s (487-190-111-0) as the winningest franchise of any decade. Additionally, with a .648 point percentage, the Capitals only trailed the 1970 Canadiens and Bruins (Montreal: .712; Boston: .689) and the 2000s Detroit Red Wings (.682) in point percentage in a decade.

Born in 1946 in Victoria, B.C., Mr. Patrick grew up in the United States. He earned his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and a law degree from the Washington College of Law at American University. He has developed commercial real estate in the Washington, D.C., area for more than 20 years and, while raising children who have skated within local youth hockey programs, he has been instrumental in increasing the Capitals' involvement in youth programs throughout the area.

Since appointing MacLellan as general manager, the Capitals are 374-176-67 (.660 point percentage) and have recorded the second-most wins and points (815) in the NHL in that span. The Capitals earned 100 points in 2021-22, the team's sixth 100-point season during MacLellan's tenure as general manager.

The only seasons in which the Capitals have not finished with at least 100 standings points under MacLellan were the shortened 2019-20 (90 points in 69 games - a 106-point pace) and the 2020-21 (77 points in 56 games - a 112-point pace) seasons. The Capitals were on pace to reach the 100-point mark in each of MacLellan's eight seasons and would have become the third franchise in NHL history to accomplish this feat, joining the Detroit Red Wings (12 times: 1999-00 to 2011-12) and the Montreal Canadiens (eight times: 1974-75 to 1981-82).

During MacLellan's tenure, the Capitals have won a Stanley Cup, two Presidents' Trophies, and a franchise-record five consecutive Metropolitan Division titles from 2014-15 to 2019-20.

With MacLellan at the helm, the Capitals won their first Stanley Cup in 2018. Of the 19 players to take the ice during the Cup-clinching win in Game 5, eight players were either signed, traded for, or drafted by MacLellan, including three of the four players that scored in the game (Jakub Vrana, Devante Smith- Pelly and Lars Eller). The Capitals tied an NHL record with 10 road wins during the run and joined the 1991 Pittsburgh Penguins as the only teams to win the Stanley Cup despite trailing in all four series.

In the 2016-17 season, the Capitals won their second consecutive Presidents' Trophy, marking the seventh time in NHL history that a team has won the Presidents' Trophy in consecutive seasons. Washington posted a 55-19-8 record, marking the second-most wins and third-most points (118) in a season in franchise history. The Capitals recorded 55 wins in two straight seasons (2015-16: 56, 2016- 17: 55), joining the Montreal Canadiens (1975-78) as the only teams in NHL history to win 55 or more games in consecutive seasons. Washington also earned 238 points in the prior two seasons, marking the most points in two straight seasons since Montreal recorded 244 points from 1977-79.

In the 2015-16 season, Washington led the NHL with a record of 56-18-8 (120 points) and captured its second Presidents' Trophy in franchise history (2009-10). The Capitals set franchise records in wins and road wins (27), and MacLellan was named a finalist for the 2015-16 NHL General Manager of the Year Award.

In his first season, Washington posted a record of 45-26-11 (101 points), reaching the 100-point mark for the eighth time in team history and the first since the 2010-11 season.

In his previous role, MacLellan oversaw the club's professional scouting staff and worked closely with the team's American Hockey League affiliate, the Hershey Bears, who won the Calder Cup in 2006, 2009 and 2010. MacLellan, who served as a pro scout for the Capitals from 2000-03 prior to his promotion to director of player personnel, assisted and advised the general manager in all player-related matters. MacLellan, who won a Stanley Cup with the Calgary Flames in 1989, recorded 413 points (172 goals, 241 assists) in 606 games during his 10-year NHL career with the Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers, Minnesota North Stars, Calgary Flames and Detroit Red Wings. MacLellan also won a silver medal with Team Canada at the 1985 World Championship in Prague.

The Guelph, Ont., native played hockey at Bowling Green State University from 1978-82, registering 143 points (64g, 79a) in 160 games. MacLellan's 345 career penalty minutes rank sixth in school history. The 6'3" forward earned 63 points his freshman year, marking the second most points by a freshman in school history. MacLellan moved to defense in his junior season and was named an All- American defenseman and First-Team All-CCHA in 1982. MacLellan served as co-captain for the Falcons from 1980-82. He was elected to the Bowling Green Athletic Hall of Fame in 1987.

MacLellan graduated with a Bachelor of Science in business administration from Bowling Green and earned his MBA in finance from the University of St. Thomas in 1995. He went on to work for an investment consulting firm in Minneapolis before joining the Capitals as a pro scout.
