Source-derived summary

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.

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.

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.

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

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Marcel Rodman” as slovenian ice hockey player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewStrongest as a route into the people, institutions and dated events that shaped the subject’s public record. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1981, 2001, 2013, 2014—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1981-09-25. The account is most persuasive where Marcel, Rodman and Slovenian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as slovenian ice hockey player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1856006. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1981, 2001, 2013 and 2014.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
