Undrafted right wing Brandon Marino(13) will spend his 8th pro season skating in Slovak 2.Liga for HC Nove Zamky.
This comes after arguably one of his most successful years in North America, where he played a career high 30 AHL games with Utica Comets on loan from contract team Brampton Beast.
The small 5’9″ but stocky 185 lbs. forward recorded 4 goals in his time up, while once again notching at least a point-per-game, getting 13 goals and 28 assists in 40 ECHL games on a squad that consistently struggled to post wins.
He’s always been outstanding on the score sheet.
In 2011/2012, he lead the Central Hockey League in goals scored at 41 with Quad City Mallards and was voted the league MVP.
Then two years later as a member of Fort Wayne Komets led the ECHL in assists (58) and points (88).
After putting up these marks, he was wooed to head to Austria’s Erste Bank Eishockey Liga suiting up for Szekesfehervar and continued to connect.
He will turn 30-years old over the summer and shows no signs of slowing down.
