Garnet Hathaway's story
Growing up skating on a frozen pond in Kennebunkport, Garnet Hathaway learned early to mix physical play with a blue-collar work ethic. He began skating around age three alongside his older brother, wearing his youth fandom for the Washington Capitals as he moved through prep school at Phillips Academy Andover, where he captained the team and led the scoring in his senior year.
Hathaway continued his education and hockey at Brown University, majoring in business while developing as a collegiate player. He registered his first collegiate point in November 2010 and opened his goal account in January 2011. Across four seasons with the Bears he compiled 58 points and 178 penalty minutes in 121 games, was twice named to the ECAC Hockey All-Academic Team and earned the coaches’ Patrick S. Jones Memorial Trophy in 2014 for the player who best sparks team spirit.
Turning pro at the end of the 2013–14 season, Hathaway joined the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat and later played for Adirondack, where a 19-goal campaign in 2014–15 drew the attention of Calgary’s management. The Flames signed him to a two-year deal in April 2015; he made his NHL debut on February 29, 2016 and scored his first NHL goal on November 20, 2016 against Detroit. On July 1, 2019 he signed a four-year contract with the Washington Capitals and played regularly on the fourth line during the 2020–21 season.
His time in Washington included a significant disciplinary episode in November 2019 that resulted in a three-game suspension. In February 2023 he was traded to the Boston Bruins, then signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Flyers on July 1, 2023; on June 25, 2026 he was traded to the Florida Panthers.
Hathaway’s game translates into dependable physicality, forechecking and willingness to occupy the hard areas of the ice. Over years in the AHL and NHL he has established himself as a depth forward who brings energy, penalty-killing experience and a willingness to take on a hard-nosed role for his coaches.
