DEFENSEMAN MARC-OLIVIER DUQUETTE JOINS KANSAS CITY MAVERICKS

INDEPENDENCE, MO. – The Kansas City Mavericks have signed defenseman Marc-Olivier Duquette for the 2023-24 season, the team announced today.

“Marc-Olivier is a well-established d-man entering his fourth ECHL season,” said Mavericks General Manager and Head Coach, Tad O’Had. “He skates very well, has a physical presence and a smart stick. He was incredibly solid last season for Maine and we look to build on his strengths. We are constructing a very strong d-core and Duquette will be a major part of that rock-solid blue line. We love his experience and feel that he is capable of having a breakout season.”

Duquette (6-4, 201) has played in 156 total ECHL games across three seasons for the Fort Wayne Komets, Wheeling Nailers and Maine Mariners, accumulating 37 points.

The 25-year-old Chateauguay, Quebec, native scored the fifth-most points among Maine defenseman last season (three goals, 15 assists) and has played in eight ECHL postseason contests.

The 2023-24 Kansas City Mavericks season is almost here.
