Patrick Iannone

Patrick Iannone excelled at hockey from an early age.  He has enjoyed his greatest success in the sport internationally, playing for various club teams in Italy and representing Italy at the World Hockey Championships.

He played hockey in Italy from 2003 to 2013.  He was a member of Italy's National Hockey team for seven of those years, winning two World Championships, in 2009 and 2011, and one silver medal in 2013.  In the 2013 tournament, he tied for second in tournament scoring and was selected as the best forward and the MVP by the International Ice Hockey Federation.  In three of the World Championship tournaments, Italy played in Group A against teams from Canada, the US, Sweden, and Russia.

Patrick shared a place on the National Team with fellow Trail native Trevor Johnson, who was inducted as a Champion in 2013.

He retired from international hockey in 2013 and now resides in Trail with his wife Stephanie and daughter Mila.
