A pair of Ferris State University men's ice hockey standouts, forward Bradley Marek (Big Rapids) and goaltender Noah Giesbrecht (White Rock, B.C.), earned invitations and competed in National Hockey League (NHL) Development Camps this past week.

Marek took part in the San Jose Sharks' development camp while Giesbrecht competed for the Philadelphia Flyers in their development camp following the recent NHL draft.

This past season, both individuals played a key role in helping FSU to the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) Semifinals. Marek ranked as one of Ferris State's top scorers with 18 points on eight goals and 10 assists in 37 contests while Giesbrecht tallied a team-high 11 wins in net while starting 26 of his 33 appearances. He finished the year with 775 saves and a .906 save percentage.

This year marked the second consecutive year in which Marek has taken part in a NHL Development Camp. He previously took part in the Arizona Coyotes camp in 2022.

Both Marek and Giesbrecht are part of a strong returning nucleus for Ferris State Hockey entering the 2023-24 season.

NHL Development camps run throughout July and include practices and scrimmages, with most open to the public.
