Player prompt:

Marcel was a hockey prodigy from a young age. "Legend says that each and every Beck is born with a hockey stick in their hand."

Marcel was an expert defenseman by the age of 4. When Marcel was six years old, (with a little prodding from his father) he decided that being a great defenseman was more important than those flashy forward stat lines. During his age 8 season, Marcel could boast about the fact that not a single goal allowed while he was on the ice. At age 12, his natural defensive gifts started to lead into increased offensive awareness. Then the points started to come. At age 15, he was the leading point producer on his team as well as a defensive stud at a plus 63.

He has enjoyed his career so much that he has started to give back to the community that means so much to him by holding annual hockey camps. Hockey has been his life from a young age, and he will continue to cultivate his live for it far into the future.
