Daniel Leger, better known as “Lego,” is equal parts brick wall and walking hangover. At 22, he’s already put in his time in junior hockey, battling through long bus rides and cold barns, before landing on Marquette, where he now anchors the crease. Lego’s got that classic goalie vibe, quiet focus between the pipes, and very unhinged energy everywhere else. He loves cracking open a cold beer, (or eight) after a game. Nobody in the house can touch his cooking skills; his post-practice pancakes or late-night homemade vodka sauce is untouchable.
The catch? Lego’s hangovers hit like a slap shot to the mask. Yet somehow, when the whistle blows and the puck drops, the worse he feels, the better he plays. Teammates joke that the hangover sharpens his focus, turns every save into a personal vendetta against sobriety. Lego just shrugs, chugs some Gatorade, and steals another game. Best goalie in the league? Maybe. Best hungover goalie ever? Undeniably. Lego is graduation with a major in Economics and a minor in Psychology. Thank you Legs for your contributions to Marquette Hockey and best of luck in your future endeavors!
