Citizen one: Brad Marsh
Age: 50
Profile: The native Londoner was a first-round pick of the Atlanta Flames after a stellar junior career with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. He was such a good defenceman, that, despite playing more than 1,000 NHL games and scoring just 23 goals, he didn't spend a single day in the minors. His big-league career included stints in Atlanta, Calgary, Philadelphia, Toronto, Detroit and Ottawa. After retiring in 1993 from the Ottawa Senators, he opened Marshy's in 1996, a restaurant at the home rink of the Sens, then called the Corel Centre. His presence isn't easily forgotten back here, either: A banner honouring his accomplishments with the Knights hangs high above the ice at the John Labatt Centre. Motivation: Making a successful post-hockey career in business. He's opened a second Marshy's in Ottawa. Quote: "The Knights are always a part of you. The guys in hockey I keep in touch with are from junior hockey, not from pro hockey." Patrick Maloney is a Free Press reporter.
