The training sessions on his brother Nick's property were really fun to be a part of - I say that because I was only observing!īut at one point during the hockey drills, Marcus was killing it with his backhanders while Nick was…having a tough day. There was simply so much good, and good-natured stuff that was left on the cutting room floor from the main episode that we tried to offer you just a little more. When you listen to Natascia talk about how "in-check with his emotions" he truly is, I can't think of a better example.Īnd that gets us to this: The bonus scene from this BBG. Our time at the hospice, where his mother Janis spent her final cancer-fighting days in 2009, was particularly moving, delivered eloquently by Marcus, and captured respectfully by the crew.

There was plenty of talk about the Sudbury smokestack and other landmarks - some more familiar to tourists, the majority simply near and dear to the heart of Marcus. Sadly there were no other moose sightings on the trip! The topic then shifted to the nickname "Moose." Marcus attributes it to friends and family years ago identifying him as a little bit bigger and more awkward than his hockey peers back in the day. He was just a little guy, and he moved so fast that even the deft reflexes and abilities of cameramen Travis Carlson and Sam Korotkin couldn't quite capture the moment. Marcus and his wife Natascia (I'm guessing more the latter…) welcomed us with a traditional, and exceptional feast of Italian meats, breads, olives and cheeses that essentially delayed the start of our shoot by about an hour.įrom there, the tour of Sudbury began and we quickly saw our first and only bear on the trip.
