Ryan “Magic” Marker usually puts on a show for fans in attendance, as he pots a beautiful goal after a beautiful goal. He razzles and dazzles, and plays in any situation the coaching staff asks of him. Marker just loves the sport of hockey, as he is a threat while the team is short-handed, plus he is excellent with the man advantage.
Marker will be playing for Team USA in the Pan American Inline Championships from August 2nd-August 18th. He may not be scoring goals for the Reading Royals or the Delaware Thunder anymore, but he has nine goals at this event in the past in just 13 games played. He also has registered nine assists, as well.
A 30-year-old in Marker pushes the play, and is physical enough to handle these countries. He works hard in the summer, weight wise, for physicality purposes. Moreover, he also looks good with the pace of game against most teams, as well. The young man just continues to soar to new heights as each game passes.
He continues to wreak havoc on his opponents in this league. The next step from Marker is a Gold Medal, and that could possibly happen sooner rather than later. Marker continues to make a good impression on Team USA.
These type of dedicated players do not come around often. He just wants to play hockey, and has worked too hard to just give up his hopes of finally fulfilling his dream. Marker kills penalties, and is an integral player on the Power Play given his natural abilities with the puck. You want him to lay a big hit…no problem, Marker will do it.
Whatever the case maybe, Marker may be what the doctor ordered, offensive wise, for a USA Team that is seeking Gold at these games.
