Daniel Marois
Canadian ice hockey player
Daniel Marois (born October 3, 1968) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey winger who played eight seasons in the National Hockey League from 1987–88 until 1995–96. He played in the NHL for the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Islanders, Boston Bruins and Dallas Stars.[citation needed] He is the uncle of former NHL player Mathieu Perreault.[1]
Marois was drafted 28th overall in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft by the Maple Leafs. He played 350 career NHL games, scoring 117 goals and 93 assists for 210 points. In the 1989–90 NHL season, he set career highs with thirty-nine goals, thirty-seven assists and seventy six points in only sixty-eight games.[citation needed]. He is only the third player in modern Maple Leafs history (since 1943-44) to score multiple hat tricks in their first season with the club, following Wilf Paiement and later John Tavares, and is the only one to do so as a rookie.[2]
As a youth, he played in the 1980 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Plessisville, Quebec.[3]
