Playing career

Marshall played Junior hockey with the Danville Wings of the NAHL before enrolling with the University of Nebraska-Omaha of the CCHA. In his senior year Bryan scored 43 points, resulting in selection to the 2007–08 CCHA Second All-Star Team and finishing second in all-time scoring for the Mavericks.[1]

Bryan made his professional debut in the 2008–09 season. He was initially invited to the Colorado Avalanche training camp[2] before signing with affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League.[3] Bryan played in 50 games with the Monsters scoring 14 points and also played in a solitary game with ECHL affiliate, the Johnstown Chiefs.

In the 2009–10 season, after an unsuccessful try-out with the Kalamazoo Wings,[4] Marshall signed with the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL on October 28, 2009.[5] After five games with the Cyclones his tenure was cut short as he was traded by Cincinnati back to the Johnstown Chiefs for Ryan Del Monte on November 10, 2009.[6] In 51 games with the cellar dwelling Chiefs, he scored 17 goals for 36 points.

On July 23, 2010, Marshall left North America for Europe, signing a one-year contract with Danish team, Herning Blue Fox of the AL-Bank Ligaen.[7] In a largely successful first season in Europe, Marshall led the entire Danish league with 79 points and was named to the Danish League All-Star Team, as Blue Fox won the Championship.

On May 27, 2011, Marshall left Herning to sign with German 2nd Bundesliga team, Heilbronner Falken on a one-year contract.[8] Marshall scored at a point per game pace helping Falken finish the regular season in second place.

Marshall moved to his third European club in as many years on September 12, 2012, signing a one-year contract with Frisk Asker Ishockey of the Norwegian GET-ligaen.[9] Marshall score 19 points in 21 games with Asker before he was lured to return to former club, Herning Blue Fox of the Danish league for the remainder of the 2012–13 season on January 18, 2013.[10]
