Pat Healey (born December 20, 1985) is an American soccer coach and former soccer player who is currently the head coach and general manager of the Harrisburg Heat in the Major Arena Soccer League.[1]

College

Healey, who was born in Baltimore, Maryland and is the son of Kevin Healey (the President and General Manager of the Baltimore Blast), grew up in Bel Air, Maryland, attended Calvert Hall College High School, and played college soccer at Towson University. At Towson he was named the 2007 Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year, was a three-time All-CAA selection, and a two-time NSCAA/ADIDAS All-South Atlantic Region player.

Professional

Outdoor

Healey was drafted in the first round of the 2008 MLS Supplemental Draft by the Kansas City Wizards, but was released on February 19, 2008, after the team's initial pre-season training camp.

He signed his first professional contract with Crystal Palace Baltimore of the USL Second Division on March 18, 2008,[2] and has remained with Palace since then, clocking over 40 appearances for the team, and helping them to the 2008 USL2 playoffs. On March 16, 2010, Baltimore announced the re-signing of Healey to a new contract for the 2010 season.[3]

Indoor

Healey also has experience playing professional indoor soccer. He was selected in the Territorial Round of the 2008 MISL Amateur Draft by Baltimore Blast, and signed a contract to play with the Blast during the USL2 offseasons in October 2008.[4] With the Blast, Healey was a member of the team which won the 2008/2009 NISL Championship.

Healey was one of only three Blast players to play all 20 regular season games for the 2009–10 MISL.[5] He scored six goals and assisted on six more. In the play-offs, he had two assists in his team's two games. Healey significantly upped his scoring tally for the 2010–11 MISL season, leading the team with 17 goals and 48 total points. He went goalless however in the Blast's play-off championship game, despite registering 4 shots on goal, as the Blast fell soundly to the Milwaukee Wave, 7–16.

On January 8, 2023, Healey played for his Harrisburg Heat team as a player-coach due to injuries and illnesses that left the Heat short-handed.
