Augustus Solberg Marker (August 1, 1905 – October 7, 1997) was a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who had played ten seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Maroons, Toronto Maple Leafs and Brooklyn Americans between 1932 and 1942.
In 336 NHL games, Marker scored 64 goals, and 69 assists for 133 points in his career.
After retiring from professional hockey, Marker settled in Kingston, Ontario. He operated a building materials business and helped develop a subdivision in the northern section of the city. The subdivision was originally called Marker's Acres and paid homage to two of his most respected teammates with the naming of Conacher Drive and Morenz Crescent. He became a member of the Kiwanis Club in Kingston and an enthusiastic booster of amateur sport in the region. Since 1980, the Kiwanis Club of Kingston has presented awards, including the Gus Marker Trophy, to honour outstanding amateur athletes in the city and district. Past winners of the Gus Marker Trophy have included boxer Mark Leduc (1992), hockey players Alyn McCauley (1996) and Jayna Hefford (1997), golfer Matt McQuillan (1999), and triathlete Simon Whitfield (2000).[2]
