Marleau is the NHL all-time games leader and was drafted off the Thunderbirds 2nd overall in the 1997 draft by San Jose, where he spent most of his career. The Thunderbirds played at the Key Arena at that time (which is now the rebuilt Climate Pledge Arena) before moving to their current arena in Kent.
I enjoyed watching him at the Shark Tank many times. Well deserved.
