Late Marc

Marc Tardif (born the June 12th 1949 with Granby with the Quebec) is a former player of Hockey, playing station of left winger, in the National league of hockey and the Worldwide association of hockey.

After two good campaigns with the Canadian of Montreal Junior of LHJMQ, the Canadian of Montreal, calling upon for the last time their privilege to choose Québécois players with the first and second turn of the fishing out amateur, made Late their second choice with the Repêchage amateur of the LNH 1969. It passed the major part of the 1969-70 with the Voyageurs of Montreal, then club-school of the Canadians, being one of the offensive high-speed motorboats of a team filled with future high-speed motorboats of the LNH (of which Jude Drouin, Guy Charron, Guy Lapointe and Peter Mahovlich). It made its entry in the LNH for good the following season and played with applomb, gaining the Coupe Stanley with the Canadians.

Like several other players of the LNH, Tardif lets themselves allure by the AMH and signs with the Sharks of Los Angeles, with which it will finish first meter of the team. The team found itself with the Michigan the season following and Late followed them, playing brilliantly before being exchanged with the Nordiques of Quebec.

This exchange changed the course of its career. He was already a player dominating, but this exchange raised it with the row of supervedette. It collected 72 points in 53 matches in the uniform of flower-of-lysed at the end of the season, helping the Scandinavian ones to reach the final of the Coupe AVCO, losing against the Aeros of Houston. The following season, it explodes literally, marking 71 goals and adding 77 master keys for a total of 148 points, dominating the league in the chapters of the goals, master keys and points with a considerable advance over its closer prosecutors, while the Scandinavian ones make only one mouthful of the league, collecting 50 victories. Late became thus only the second professional hockeyor to break the mark of the 70 goals during one only season (the first being Bobby Hull). Its series were however curtailed by Rick Jodzio of the Cowboys of Calgary, which attacked Tardif with its stick wildly, causing a serious wound with the head - it was one of the first times that an hockey player was formally shown with the court for an attack carried out on the ice.

The following season, it is named captain and leads the Scandinavian ones to their single championship of the Coupe AVCO with another effort of 100 points. In 1977-78, Tardif establishes a record in professional hockey (beaten later by Wayne Gretzky) with 154 points in one season, a performance which was worth to him its second title of MVP of the league.

There will remain a star of Scandinavian to their entry in the LNH in 1979, becoming their first captain in the LNH; it will finally withdraw at the end of the season 1982-83. The Scandinavian ones withdrew its number 8 to honor its performances.

He currently lives in Quebec in the province of Quebec where he holds a frankness automobobile.
