Marchment was known for playing with an edge, and sometimes going over it. He is 31st overall in career NHL penalty minutes with 2,307. He was suspended 13 times by the league in his first 12 NHL seasons. Maple Leafs forward Mike Gartner suffered a partly collapsed lung in a collision with Marchment, then with the Oilers during a 1996 game in Edmonton. Gartner had to return to Toronto by train because changes in air pressure could hurt his lung.
According to a New York Times article after the game, Marchment said his hit on Gartner was “payback time” for a past fight. Some tributes on social media after news of his death circulated described Marchment’s softer side off the ice. Christina Marleau, the wife of longtime Sharks captain Patrick Marleau,Marchment is survived by wife Kim, son Mason, a forward with the Florida Panthers, and daughter Logan.
