Mason Marchment

Early Career and Junior Hockey

He then advanced to junior A hockey, spending the 2013-14 season with the Cobourg Cougars of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. Despite being eligible for the NHL Draft for three consecutive years, Marchment went unselected, a fact that defined the underdog nature of his professional ascent. His major junior career commenced at age 19 when he joined the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League for the 2014-15 season. The following 2015-16 OHL season saw Marchment traded, leading him to split his time between the Hamilton Bulldogs and the Mississauga Steelheads. Over his two-season OHL career, he appeared in 115 regular-season games, recording 77 total points from 28 goals and 49 assists. This junior tenure, while not statistically dominant, provided the physical foundation and game experience necessary for his professional transition. His undrafted status meant his path to the NHL would require proving himself through minor professional leagues, beginning with an American Hockey League contract offer from the Toronto Maple Leafs organization in April 2016.

Professional Development and AHL Success

Marchment signed an AHL contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on April 8, 2016, making his professional debut with the Toronto Marlies at the end of the 2015-16 season. His first full professional year in 2016-17 was split between the AHL's Marlies and the ECHL's Orlando Solar Bears, where he spent the majority of the season. His perseverance paid off when he earned his first NHL contract, a two-year entry-level deal signed with the Maple Leafs on March 17, 2018, after establishing himself as a full-time AHL player in the 2017-18 season. This contract was a direct result of his development and performance within the Maple Leafs' minor league system.

His time with the Marlies was highlighted by significant playoff success. In the 2018 Calder Cup playoffs, Marchment contributed nine points over 20 games and scored the championship-winning goal in Game 7 of the finals to secure the Calder Cup for Toronto. He followed this with another strong postseason in 2019, recording seven points in 13 games as the Marlies reached the conference finals. Across 157 career AHL games with the Marlies, Marchment compiled 86 points, consisting of 48 goals and 38 assists, solidifying his reputation as a reliable two-way forward at the minor pro level.

After his trade to the Florida Panthers in February 2020, Marchment recorded two assists over six games with the Springfield Thunderbirds, the AHL affiliate of the Panthers, before the COVID-19 shutdown. This shutdown lasted until February 2021. He had previously recorded 86 points in 157 career AHL games with the Toronto Marlies. During the 2018 Calder Cup playoffs, Marchment scored the winning goal in game 7 of the finals to win the Calder Cup for the Toronto Marlies.

NHL Breakthrough with Florida Panthers

Marchment's NHL debut came on January 2, 2020, with the Toronto Maple Leafs, after the team recalled him due to injuries. He registered one assist in four games with Toronto before being traded to the Florida Panthers on February 19, 2020, in exchange for Denis Malgin. He was activated for his first game as a Panther on February 7, 2021, and scored his inaugural NHL goal on March 5 in a 5-4 win over the Nashville Predators, finishing that season with 10 points in 33 games. The 2021-22 season marked his definitive arrival as an impactful NHL forward. On January 31, 2022, he tied Panthers legend Olli Jokinen's franchise record with a six-point game, scoring two goals and adding four assists in an 8-4 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
