SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota Wild President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the club has signed forward Bradley Marek to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Marek, 24 (born November 13, 2000), appeared in 50 games last season with the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League (AHL), recording 13 points (8 goals, 5 assists), 67 penalty minutes, and 76 shots on goal. The 6-foot-4, 212-pound forward from Big Rapids, Michigan, brings size, grit, and a developing offensive touch to the Wild organization.
Across two AHL seasons with Iowa (2024–25) and the San Jose Barracuda (2023–24), Marek has totaled 19 points (13 goals, 6 assists), 71 PIM, and 106 shots in 76 games. He also made a strong impact in the ECHL with the Wichita Thunder in 2023–24, notching 31 points (13 goals, 18 assists) in just 37 games.
Before turning pro, Marek played two seasons at Ferris State University (2021–23), where he tallied 36 points (17 goals, 19 assists) in 72 NCAA games. He was named CCHA Rookie of the Year in 2021–22 after tying for the team lead in goals with 10 as a freshman.
Marek also spent four seasons in the United States Hockey League (USHL) from 2017 to 2021, compiling 65 points (37 goals, 28 assists) in 191 games with the Central Illinois Flying Aces, Youngstown Phantoms, and Muskegon Lumberjacks.
