Bradley "Brad" Kevin Marchand (/mɑːrˈʃɑːnd/, /-ænd/;[1] born May 11, 1988) is a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger and alternate captain for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). Marchand was selected by the Bruins in the third round, 71st overall, at the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. During his time with the Bruins, he won the Stanley Cup in 2011 and was named to the 2017 and 2018 NHL All-Star Game.

Marchand played major junior hockey in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) prior to his NHL career. His scoring ability combined with his abrasive playing style often gets under the skin of his opponents, and has given him the nickname "The Rat"[2] amongst fans of other NHL teams.

Early life

Marchand was born and raised in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia, a suburb of the Halifax Regional Municipality,[3] the oldest of four children born to Kevin and Lynn Marchand.[4] Marchand began ice skating at the age of two, and grew an affinity for ice hockey from a young age. As an adolescent, he took anger management classes to control his temper.[4] He began fighting during games at the age of 13, and at 14, Marchand hit an opponent with his hockey stick with enough force to damage the player's cage.[5]

Marchand played minor hockey in Bedford, Nova Scotia, serving on a team in the Timberlea Amateur Sports Association alongside fellow Hammonds Plains natives Ryan Hillier and Andrew Bodnarchuk.[6][7] Marchand and Hillier also played hockey together at Madeline Symonds Middle School.[8]

Playing career

Amateur

Marchand grew up playing minor hockey in the Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia area, including AAA midget with the Dartmouth Subways before being a second-round pick in the 2004 QMJHL Midget Draft. He played four seasons in the QMJHL between the Moncton Wildcats, Val-d'Or Foreurs, and Halifax Mooseheads.

Professional

Marchand was selected 71st overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by the Boston Bruins. He made his NHL debut on October 21, 2009, against the Nashville Predators.[9] He then scored his first career NHL goal against Jhonas Enroth of the Buffalo Sabres on November 3, 2010.

Marchand established himself as a two-way player for the Bruins during the 2010–11 season, his first full year in the NHL. He scored 21 goals, including five short-handed (ranked third in the league),[10] and 41 points; he also registered a +25 plus-minus rating.[11] On April 2, 2011, prior to the Bruins' final home game of the season, against the Atlanta Thrashers, Marchand was awarded the Bruins' 7th Player Award, as voted by the club's fans through the regional New England Sports Network (NESN). The honour is awarded annually to the Bruins player fans believe performed most beyond expectations. During the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs, Marchand scored 19 points over 25 games, helping the Bruins to a Stanley Cup championship. His 11 goals tied Jeremy Roenick for the second-most by a rookie in the NHL. Marchand's total included two goals in the seventh and deciding game of the Finals against the Vancouver Canucks.

Marchand during the 2011-12 NHL season.

During the off-season, the Bruins re-signed Marchand to a two-year contract extension, announced on September 14, 2011.[12] During the ensuing season, on December 23, 2011, he scored his first career NHL hat-trick in an 8–0 win against the Florida Panthers at TD Garden. He also added two assists for a five-point effort.[13]

During the 2014–15 season, Marchand played on the Bruins' top line for the majority of the season, he finished the season as Boston's leading goal-scorer, with 24 goals, and tied for fourth on the team with defenceman Dougie Hamilton in point totals, with 42.[14] Immediately following the 2014–15 regular season, Marchand required surgery on the reportedly torn tendons around his right elbow, something that had been bothering him since the early spring of 2014 — he expected to be fully ready for the 2015–16 Boston Bruins season when training camp began on September 17, 2015.[15]

During a home game on February 6, 2016 Marchand was given a penalty shot chance against the Buffalo Sabres, a rare occurrence during an overtime tie-breaker round in the regular season — with 2:28 left on the 3-on-3 overtime clock, Marchand scored on the penalty shot, the first time in Bruins team history that a successful penalty shot ever won a regular season game in overtime.[16] Marchand finished the season with 37 goals and 24 assists, and a plus-minus of 21.[17]

Midway through the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, where Marchand was one of the leading scorers with eventual champion Canada, he signed an eight-year contract extension with the Bruins worth $49 million through the 2024–25 season. [18]

Late in the 2016–17 season, on March 13, 2017, Marchand scored the second hat trick in his Bruins career, with all three goals scored in the third period of a 6–3 road game Bruins' win against the Vancouver Canucks with only his teammate David Krejčí scoring one additional goal in-between Marchand's trio of third-period Bruins' goals.[19]

Marchand scored his third career hat trick, as well as a pair of assists making for a five-point night, in a 6–5 home-ice overtime victory over the Detroit Red Wings on March 6, 2018.[20] His third goal in this game was the overtime winner, which also made Marchand the Bruins' all-time franchise leader in regular-season overtime goals with the 11th of his career.[21] On March 31, 2019, in a game against the Detroit Red Wings, Marchand scored his 26th career shorthanded goal becoming the Bruins all-time shorthanded goal leader passing Rick Middleton.[22] In the Bruins' next game on April 3, on the road against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Marchand became the tenth Bruins player in team history to score 100 points (36 goals, 64 assists) in a season, the first Bruin to do so since former Bruins center Joe Thornton did in the 2002–03 season.[23]

Playing style and criticism

Marchand, while known for his scoring ability, has also been described as one of the NHL's most notorious "pests." His play is often overshadowed by his on-ice antics and dirty play. Marchand's list of foul play includes a two-game suspension for elbowing R. J. Umberger in March 2011; a $2,500 fine for slew footing Matt Niskanen in December 2011; a five-game ban for a predatory low-bridge hit on Sami Salo in January 2012; two games for slew-footing Derick Brassard in January 2015; a $5,000 fine for roughing Gabriel Landeskog in November 2015 (an incident in which Landeskog also received a two-game suspension); and three games for clipping Mark Borowiecki in December 2015. In February 2017, the league docked Marchand $10,000, the maximum allowable amount per the collective bargaining agreement, for a dangerous trip of Detroit Red Wings defenceman Niklas Kronwall.[24] In April 2017, Marchand was suspended for the final two games of the regular season as a result of a spearing incident against Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman Jake Dotchin.[25]

In January 2018, Marchand was again suspended for five games for what was ruled a deliberate elbow to the head of New Jersey Devils forward Marcus Johansson.[26] In March 2018, Marchand was fined $2,000 for diving.[27]

The following month, Marchand was fined $5,000, the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement, for cross-checking Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Andrew MacDonald,[28] marking the third time Marchand faced supplementary discipline in the 2017–18 NHL season and the sixth time he's been fined for his behavior in the NHL.[29] Marchand was also involved in two separate but similar incidents in which he would kiss or lick the neck or face of other players during play. The first of these incidents involved Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov during the Bruins' and Maple Leafs' First Round matchup in the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs,[30] while the second incident, this time involving Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ryan Callahan, took place the following round.[31]

Marchand was voted the "dirtiest" player in the league by fellow NHL players according to a 2020 poll.[32] In the same poll, he was also voted simultaneously as both the best and worst trash-talker in the league.[33]
