Notes:

A native of Ontario, Marquardt wasn't selected in his OHL draft year. Instead, Ted Nolan enticed him to come east and join the Moncton Wildcats. The Wildcats couldn't be happier, as Marquardt improved and garnered more ice time as the season progressed, finishing with 25 points, 16 of which were goals. The bruiser was one of the team's many unsung heroes during the Memorial Cup tournament.

A mammoth of a player, Marquardt already has NHL size. He's a relentless and punishing hitter with the ability to change the momentum of the game with his checks. However he also possesses surprising soft hands and an accurate shot. As can be expected, his skating requires plenty of work, although with his work ethic that should not be a problem in a few years.

Matt Marquardt scored the winning goal in the third period to lift the Moncton Wildcats to a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Giants in the semi-final game of the MasterCard Memorial Cup in Moncton.
