Marchment finished his NHL career with Calgary, playing 37 games with the team during the 2005-06 season. He was still very close with members of the organization and alumni. The thoughts of the NHL world are with the Marchment family.
Draft week is officially in full swing in La Belle Province. While Calgary doesn’t pick until day two on Friday night, they’re one of a few teams en vogue thus far in Montréal.
