Marcel was born in Rotkreuz, Switzerland. At birth he was 37 inches tall and weighed 13.5 pounds. So I had to go to school immediately. There he found his love for sport. First he tried ping pong, tennis, golf and darts. But somehow something was missing. He missed the social component. So he tried team sports. First he tried floorball as the local team was successful. But when his brother Daniel started playing ice hockey, he wanted to try it too. First he took lessons in ice skating. There are still videotapes of it. But you should refrain from publishing them or uploading them somewhere on the Internet ... So Marcel started to train with his brother for the local ice hockey team. It soon turned out that Marcel was not as quick and accurate as his brother. But there were more defensive skills. Since it is smaller but heavier than its brother, it was shaped like a cube or a wall. Marcel himself always joked that he was as hard as a wall but not nearly as flexible. But his actual nickname among the juniors was "the comedian" because of his witty manner and dirty jokes. Marcel still seems a bit stiff at the hips and his stony hands will probably never make him the top scorer, but as a defensive defender, that is not his No. 1 task either. His number among the juniors was 00, as that was roughly the scorer points that were to be expected. His role model on his favorite team is Dominik Schlumpf. But unfortunately there was no place for Marcel on this team. They put more emphasis on speed and brilliant scorers than on good and hard defensive work. So he played one season in the lower leagues, where he was able to block in the shot and prevent goals. The opponents from Basel, Arosa, Martigny and Chur, all old and renowned teams, kept an eye on him. But Marcel wanted to play ice hockey professionally and so he tries abroad.

 

In his private life, Marcel is actually a very sociable guy. He likes video games, going to the movies and sometimes a boring looking board game night. He is also an enthusiastic hobby cook. With pasta in particular, he has often been able to cook for his former team so that they get the carbohydrates they need. The coaches will be happy that he doesn't often go to parties to celebrate (except for championship celebrations, of course). He practically does not drink and has never smoked. Not that he didn't want it back then, but it was simply too expensive. And now on the other side of the Atlantic, he's simply too young to get beer. Although you can hardly call it beer, which Americans have to grapple with. So now he has come to Canada, the country that invented ice hockey and probably lives like no other. The land of Wayne Gretzky, Guy Lafleur and Marley Brinx. Here he wants to relaunch his still young career and, like thousands of players, he hopes for a professional contract. His biggest dream would be to play for the Swiss national team one day.
