Hartford Whalers New York Islanders Donald Michael Maloney (born September 5, 1958) is a Canadian ice hockey executive and former player, currently serving as President of Hockey Operations of the Calgary Flames. He was formerly the general manager of the New York Islanders and Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes. He played for the New York Rangers for parts of eleven seasons. In addition, he played with his brother Dave Maloney while with the Rangers.

Don was selected as the 26th player in the 1978 NHL Amateur Draft. Brother Dave was a summer instructor at the Orr-Walton Sports Camp when Don was drafted by the Rangers.

Playing career

Maloney was traded to the Hartford Whalers during the 1988–89 season. He also played for the Rangers' perennial rivals, the New York Islanders, from 1989 to 1991.

He was named MVP of the 36th National Hockey League All-Star Game held in Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, on January 31, 1984.

Post-playing career

He served as the Islanders' general manager from 1992 to 1995. Maloney served as the Rangers' vice president of player personnel and was also as assistant general manager to first Neil Smith and then Glen Sather from 1996 to 2007. On May 28, 2007, he was named general manager of the Phoenix Coyotes.

In the 2009 book 100 Ranger Greats, the authors ranked Maloney at No. 26 all-time of the 901 New York Rangers who had played during the team’s first 82 seasons.

On June 2, 2010, Maloney was named the NHL's General Manager of the Year, making him the first ever recipient of the award.

At the conclusion of the 2015–16 season, the Arizona Coyotes relieved Maloney of his duties as general manager.

On August 17, 2016, Maloney was hired as a professional scout for the Calgary Flames.

On April 17, 2023, Maloney was promoted to President of Hockey Operations for the Flames, assuming the role of interim general manager after the departure of Brad Treliving. Maloney was then succeeded as permanent general manager by Craig Conroy on May 23, 2023.
