The Toronto Marlies are preparing for the upcoming season and a part of that is to add new names to the Marlies Ring of Honour. There’s a plaque for every Marlies player who went on to play in the NHL for the Maple Leafs dating back to when the Marlies name was used by the Toronto Marlboroughs of the OHA.
This season we’ll see twelve new names on the ring, showing how many players from the 2015/16 powerhouse Marlies made their NHL debuts.
William Nylander:
Garret Sparks:
Nikita Soshnikov:
Byron Froese:
Zach Hyman:
Riney Valiev:
Viktor Loov:
Kasperi Kapanen:
Brendan Leipsic:
Tobias Lindberg:
Frederik Gauthier:
Connor Brown:
Congratulations to all of the Marlies who made it to the show last season. With camp coming up, how many of these players will we see right away in the NHL, and how many new names will be added next fall?
