History

2005-06: While playing high school hockey in Minnesota for the Warroad Warriors, he led the team in scoring with 30 points (9G, 21A) in 23 total games. In the season prior to that, he managed to eclipse 48 points (23G, 25A) in 31 games with Warroad. Calgary would select Aaron Marvin in the third round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, 89th overall.
2006-07: The 6’2” 192 lb center took his game to the USHL where he would suit up for the Tri City Storm. Even though Marvin would play just 13 games for Storm and record four points, he would however earn a NCAA scholarship. Marvin would soon be lacing up his skates in his home state of Minnesota, for St. Cloud State University. 
2007-08: In Marvin’s freshmen season with the Huskies, he was able to record 13 points (3G, 10A) in 39 games, and a team best +6 rating. After a fourth place finish in the WCHA, St. Cloud State will face off against the Golden Knights of Clarkson University in the first round of the upcoming 2008 NCAA Frozen Four Tournament.

Talent Analysis

Marvin is a tall, agile player who is blessed with great hands. He combines finesse with speed and power. He uses his 6’2”/191 lbs. frame, strength and long reach quite effectively. He skates with long and very fluid strides and moves very well with the puck. Marvin is fiercely competitive and doesn’t shy away from the physical aspects of the game. He is creative and instinctive. His superb playmaking ability and great on-ice vision allows him to only be creative but to make things happen as well. Marvin is also excellent along the boards. He possesses a blisteringly hard shot with a quick release. The defensive side of his game is one area that should continue to improve as his game matures.

While Marvin, at this point, is very much a project, he has all of the tools to become a dominant force at the next level (he is likely bound for the collegiate ranks) and beyond. Perhaps the scariest part about Marvin is the fact that he is still growing and developing into an already large body.

Future

He will most likely spend another year in the NCAA. To make the jump to the NHL he will have to get used to the tougher more grueling professional regular season schedule.
