Patrick Emond is a Canadian ice hockey coach and former player. Although he ended his junior ice hockey eligibility as the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) all-time assists record holder, he never played in the National Hockey League (NHL). His assists record has only been exceeded by Patrice Lefebvre. After retiring as a player he mostly served as the head coach for Genève-Servette HC of the Swiss National League (NL) and its junior affiliate.

Emond began his junior career with the Trois-Rivières Draveurs during the 1981–82 season. [1] During the following season he was traded to the Hull Olympiques. [2] [3] After the season ended he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, [1] and was invited to the Penguins training camp but was cut from the team. [4] Penguins general manager Eddie Johnston said that he was cut because he did not like playing in "heavy traffic" but Edmond felt that "the fact I was the only francophone didn't help. It affected me mentally. I felt intimidated. It reflected in my play." [4] Back in the QMJHL, he was traded to the Chicoutimi Saguenéens during the 1983–84 season and remained with them through the remainder of his junior career, through 1985–86. [1] He finished his QMJHL career with 346 assists, a record that was exceeded in 1987 by Lefebvre. [1] [5] As of 2020, he also ranked third all-time in QMJHL points. [6]

With no NHL teams interested, Edmond played for the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières from 1988 to 1991. [1] He later finished his playing career in the Quebec Semi-Pro Hockey League. [1]

After his playing career ended he became a coach in the Swiss National League (NL), primarily in the Genève-Servette HC organization. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
