It’s been 453 days since Bradley Marek laced up his skates in a Bulldog uniform, and a lot has changed.
A few months after his final game at Ferris State, Marek attended a development camp put on by the National Hockey League’s San Jose Sharks. This camp included over 40 elite experienced NHL development players and prospects, but only two players coming straight from the college level: Marek and Denver’s Magnus Chrona.
