Marchand has taken his game to another level November 07, 2016

Thanks in due part to a mixture of hard work and fierce determination, Brad Marchand has entered into the upper echelon of hockey’s elite, and he looks dead set on staying right there. Once an under-the-radar, 3^rd round pick back in 2006, the Halifax-native has a shown a steady improvement each and every year he has played, culminating with his 37-goal, breakout performance in 2015-16.

After adding a World Cup of Hockey trophy to his already impressive list of accomplishments (2011 Stanley Cup, 2016 World Championship gold, 2007, 2008 World Junior Championships gold), the 28-year-old has proven that he is a legitimate star in the NHL, and does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
