Deputy Marshall

One of the more notorious and charismatic figures in VMA history. Quite impressive being he's only been in the league since 2013. Yet not an ill word can be said of the Deputy, for he embodies the very name and logo the league promotes: Veteran.

Upon his return from his military service, the Deputy decided to be in attendance for the 2013 VMA Cup Finals, a laughable 7-1 victory for the Source over the Whale. That night in the stands as the Source raised the Cup, the bug had bit Marshall. The Deputy wanted in. If not for the level of hockey then especially for the late night fiascos which accompany being in the VMA. And thus, a star was born.

The Deputy would get so sloshed that night he passed out at the bar face down. A few months later, Marshall and a handful of other Haverhill High millennials had put together the expansion club Rangers to enter into the VMA for the 13-14 season. Even more amusing was that Marshall had the brilliant idea that he would play goalie (being that he was a forward his whole life). This stroke of genius resulted with the club having a (6-13-1) record their inaugural season along with the club suspending the Deputy three (3) times for either being grossly intoxicated while in net, or too intoxicated to even play. Quite the feat. Ah, but once off the sauce (!) things turned. By year two, Marshall had the Rangers in the VMA Cup Finals threatening to do the unthinkable - defeat the heavily favored Silverbacks. Sadly, a simple twist of fate never came. Yet Marshall's continued dedication to learning the craft of the netminder only improves. He has shown he is no longer the poor man's Kelly Hrudey, or the bastard son of Darren Puppa, nor the baggage handler for Alex Auld. No, Marshall has shown that on any given night he can go save for save up against the best of the VMA goal tenders. That's a hell of an accomplishment.
