Brad Marchand is a Canadian ice hockey player known for his elite skill, gritty playing style, and ability to get under opponents’ skin. Born in 1988, he has spent his entire NHL career with the Boston Bruins, winning a Stanley Cup in 2011. Marchand is one of the league’s top two-way forwards, capable of scoring highlight-reel goals while also being a relentless pest on the ice.
He’s got a reputation for controversial antics—licking opponents, chirping, and borderline dirty plays—but at the same time, he’s a consistent offensive powerhouse and a key leader for the Bruins. In 2023, he was named team captain, further solidifying his legacy in Boston.
