Joel Farabee (born February 25, 2000) is an American professional ice hockey left winger. He currently plays for the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has also played for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Career

Before playing in the NHL, Farabee played two seasons with the U.S. National Development Team of the United States Hockey League (USHL) and one year with the Boston University Terriers of Hockey East. He had a successful time with his teams. With the Terriers, Farabee finished his freshman season scoring 17 goals and recording 19 assists for 36 points. For his effort, he was awarded the Tim Taylor Award for being the most outstanding freshman in NCAA Division I men's ice hockey. He was named the Hockey East Rookie of the Year and was selected for the Hockey East All-Rookie Team.

He was drafted 14th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2018 NHL entry draft. On March 25, 2019, Farabee signed a three-year, $925,000 entry-level contract to join the Flyers. He was sent down to play for their AHL-affiliate Lehigh Valley Phantoms where he played 5 regular season games. On October 21, 2019, the Flyers called him up and Farabee made his NHL debut in a 6–2 win against the Vegas Golden Knights. Three days later, he recorded his first NHL point, assisting on a Kevin Hayes goal in a 4–1 win against the Chicago Blackhawks. Farabee had also scored a goal during the game but it was overturned because of the Flyers being offside so it did not count. On November 1, Farabee scored his first official NHL goal against Mackenzie Blackwood in a 4–3 shootout win against the New Jersey Devils. On September 2, 2021, Farabee signed a six-year, $30 million contract to stay with the Flyers.

On January 30, 2025, the Flyers traded Farabee along with Morgan Frost to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 second-round draft pick, and a 2028 seventh-round draft pick.
