Patrick Marleau Ice hockey player
Patrick Denis Marleau (born September 15, 1979) is a Canadian professional ice hockey forward and an alternate captain for the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League. He previously served as captain for the Sharks, from 2004 to 2009. Marleau is the all-time Sharks leader in goals, even strength goals, power play goals, points, shots, and games played having spent his entire NHL career with the Sharks since being drafted second overall by the franchise in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. He played his 1300th NHL game on February 5, 2015 against the Vancouver Canucks. He is one of only 56 NHL players to play in 1300 games, one of just 10 to do so with one team and he's the youngest NHL player to reach the 1300 game mark. He won gold medals with Team Canada at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics. Marleau - being one of the most important players of the Sharks for nearly 20 seasons - is one of the fastest skaters in the NHL, and exhibits a high standard of playing ability combined with gentlemanly conduct. This has earned him two nominations for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy - and made him a popular player both among fans and his professional peers.
