Marchant Proud to Reach Milestone

The following article featuring former Clarkson standout Todd Marchant appeared March 23 on the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA) Web site.

 

Todd Marchant once figured that skating in one National Hockey League game would be a dream come true. But over 1,000? Not even he could have imagined that.

As a kid growing up in Buffalo, Marchant, who attended Williamsville East High School, was no different than most young hockey players when it came to his aspirations.

His excellent skating and skill at both ends of the ice eventually led him to Clarkson University, where he would play two seasons with the Golden Knights from 1991–1993. Marchant moved a big step closer to the NHL when he was selected by the New York Rangers in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft in the seventh round, 164th overall.
