Norm Maracle (born on October 2nd 1974) is a Canadian former professional goalie in ice hockey. Before he ended his career with Europe, Maracle played in the National Hockey League for the Detroit Red Wings and Atlanta Thrashers.

The 1999-2000 season of the NHL being the first season for the Thrashers There was a bit of instability within the lineup. Maracle was able to play on more occasions in the Thrashers than the other four goalies (Damian Rhodes Scott Fankhouser, David Rhodes, Scott Langkow, and Rick Tabaracci). But, Maracle finished the season with a record of 4-19-2 and an average save percentage of .890. Maracle’s save percentage placed him in 43rd position among 83 goalie candidates (goalies who played at least 20 times during this NHL year). The team was not able to reach the playoffs in the 1999-2000 season.

When Maracle reported for the 2000–01 training camp, his conditioning had become so poor that he was reassigned to the Orlando Solar Bears of the International Hockey League, Atlanta’s minor league affiliate. Maracle posted an impressive 33–13–3 record at the minor level, his eight shutouts with Orlando are a team record. He also helped backstop the Solar Bears to their first and only Turner Cup victory in the league’s final year of operation. His strong minor league performance earned him 13 appearances for the Thrashers during that season. Though his record for the Thrashers was 2–8–3, his save percentage slightly improved.

Maracle appeared in a single NHL game for the 2001–02 season, a 3–0 loss to the Washington Capitals on November 10, 2001; which was his last NHL game. Maracle spent the rest of the season with the Thrashers’ new minor league affiliate, the Chicago Wolves of the AHL, as the starting goaltender with Pasi Nurminen backing him up.

Maracle became a part of with the Wolverine Hockey League’s Saskatoon Blades during the 1991-92 season and played there up to the season 1993-94. Maracle’s play in the 1993-94 season was enough to earn the Del Wilson Trophy for best goalie of the WHL. Prior to 1993-94 they were the Detroit Red Wings drafted Maracle in the 5th round and 126th overall in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft.

In the initial phase of the 1994-95 season Maracle was hired to the Detroit Red Wings and reassigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate known as The Adirondack Red Wings, sharing the duties of goalie together with Kevin Hodson. In the following 2 seasons Maracle continued to play in the AHL and posted impressive winning records and a very high saving percentage throughout the season, but was never invited for the Red Wings due to their massive goaltending depth, since the fourth goalie following Mike Vernon, Chris Osgood and Hodson. After his retirement, Maracle was honored into the Adirondack Hockey Hall of Fame in Glens Falls, New York in the year 2018. Maracle was among three former players from that Detroit Red Wings affiliate, the Adirondack Red Wings, next to Neil Smith (ice hockey) and Chris Tancill.

Maracle challenged Hodson for the backup spot for the 1998–99 season. Maracle put up solid numbers during the season and as a result, became Detroit’s backup goaltender to Osgood. Maracle appeared in 16 regular season contests, posting a 6–5–2 record and a 91.8% save percentage. Hodson, however, was sent to the Tampa Bay Lightning prior to the trade deadline so the Red Wings could acquire Bill Ranford as Detroit’s third goaltender. Due to Ranford’s strong showing towards the end of the regular season, the Red Wings kept Maracle on the roster, but designated him as the third goaltender. After the Red Wings defeated the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the opening round of the playoffs, they went on to face the Colorado Avalanche in the Conference Semifinals. Osgood was injured prior to the first game, making Ranford the starting goaltender and Maracle the backup. Maracle played in two games against Colorado, relieving Ranford both times. By the time Osgood returned, the Red Wings could not overcome the Avalanche and were eliminated. Not having lived up to expectations, Ranford was not re-signed at the end of the season, and Maracle also fell under scrutiny for underperforming in the playoffs, and his conditioning was also questioned. Maracle was left unprotected in the 1999 NHL Expansion Draft, and was claimed by the Atlanta Thrashers on June 25, 1999.
