The records show that Don Marcotte scored 15 goals the past season ... What they don't show is that for the amount of time he got on the ice, Marcotte's goal scoring average matched anybody on the team, with the possible exception of Phil Esposito. Marcotte was the Bruins' trouble-shooter If Coach Tom Johnson needed somebody on the right wing, it was Marcotte . . . If it was the left side or center, same thing. Unfortunately for Don, the Bruins went so well, he wasn't needed that often . . But the hard-hitting forward proved his value as a seventh player who could come off the bench cold and spark the team. He also proved invaluable as a penalty-killer.. . Not only did he shackle the opposition but he himself scored six of his 15 goals while killing penalties . He is married and makes his off-season home in Niagara Falls, ont., where he played his junior amateur hockey.
