A Closer Look- Toronto Marlboros
When it comes to the Toronto Marlboros, their stats speak for them.  It’s an outstanding on-ice record. However, more importantly they are proud of the compliments received regarding their “off-ice” behaviour and overall team program.

With an amazing 70-3-3 Overall record, the Marlies also have numerous tournament accomplishments including,

Gold Medalist – Senators Cup

Gold Medalist – GTHL Bauer Challenge Cup

Silver Medalist – Port Huron Silverstick Tournament

Gold Medalist – Ontario Winter Games

First Place - Regular Season League Champions -  GTHL Kraft Cup

GOLD MEDALIST - PLAYOFF League Champions – GTHL League Champions

Toronto Star’s Team of the Week (Three Times)

After accompanying the team to the Ontario Winter Games, John Gardiner, President of the GTHL, sent a congratulatory note stating: “I just wanted to tell you it was a pleasure to be the League representative for this team and to have them represent the GTHL. The Toronto Marlboros have every reason to be extremely proud of the manner in which this team not only represented the Marlboros, but their parents and this League.” 

This team truly represents what the Toronto Marlboros organization is all about:  - Play for the love of the game, be generous in winning, be graceful in losing, be fair and display sportsmanship, be obedient to the rules, work for the good of the team, conduct yourself with honour and dignity, learn every time you step on the ice.

Some notable players graduating from the Marlies organization:

John Tavares     New York Islanders
Sam Gagner    Edmonton Oilers
Rick Nash        Columbus Blue Jackets
Jason Spezza    Ottawa Senators
Wojtek Wolski    Phoenix Coyotes

**An interesting side note- Current Marlies player, Dylan Strome is literally following in the steps of his older Brother Ryan. Ryan Strome, as a member of the Marlies, competed in the All-Ontario Bantam 'AAA' Championship in 2008 which was the very 1st event hosted by the Huron Perth Lakers.
