Marcel Rodman (September 25, 1981) is a Slovenian former professional ice hockey forward.

Playing career

Rodman was drafted by the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL) in 2001, but never played in the NHL.

He has played for the Krefeld Pinguine of the DEL, and the Graz 99ers, Vienna Capitals and HK Acroni Jesenice of the Austrian Hockey League.

On July 18, 2013, Rodman left SC Bietigheim-Bissingen of the 2nd Bundesliga and signed as a free agent to newly promoted DEL club, Schwenningen Wild Wings.[1]

During the 2014–15 season, Rodman left KHL Medveščak Zagreb after only appearing in 9 scoreless games with the club. He returned to the EBEL, signing with EC KAC for the remainder of the season. In 21 games with KAC, Rodman brought stability and depth to the forward lines, scoring 11 points before suffering a season-ending injury preventing him from contributing in the playoffs in which KAC would claim the championship.[2]

His younger brother David also played the sport professionally.

International play

He participated at several IIHF World Championships as a member of the Slovenia men's national ice hockey team.[3]

Rodman played for the Slovenian national team at the 2008 IIHF World Championship, where he had 1 assist in 5 games.
