Who is Marco Kasper? Multi-talented Detroit Red Wings forward is also a budding film star

2022 Upper Deck NHL Draft - Round One
Marco Kasper will play his first NHL game for the Detroit Red Wings tonight.

Marco Kasper is an ice hockey player who is eligible for the 2022 NHL Draft. He currently plays for Rögle Bandyklubb. He was born in Innsbruck, Austria, and is set to play his first NHL game for the Detroit Red Wings tonight against Toronto at 7 PM ET.

During his time with Klagenfurter AC, Kasper appeared in an Austrian film called "Harrinator" (Harri Pinter, Drecksau), where he played the role of Robert Begusch, a youth hockey player for the club.

The "Harrinator" is a former ice-hockey player who thinks he's still as cool and popular as he was during his heydays. However, his perception is not shared by others, as his career has been over for a long time, and his physical appearance has deteriorated.

He's also facing personal problems, as his girlfriend Ina has kicked him out of their apartment. All of this has left Harri feeling very down and in a state of despair.

Marco Kasper represents Austria in international play and participated in both the 2021 and 2022 IIHF World Juniors. His father, Peter Kasper, is a former professional hockey player in Austria and is currently an assistant coach for Klagenfurter AC's U18 club.

Marco began his hockey career with Klagenfurter AC and played for the club during his youth hockey days. This is the same Austrian club that Anaheim Ducks prospect Thimo Nickl and former New York Rangers defenseman Thomas Pöck also played for.

In the 2020-21 season, Kasper left Klagenfurter AC to join Rögle BK in Ängelholm, Sweden. He played J18, J20, and SHL hockey for the club during his first season, and this season he has spent the majority of his time with Rögle's SHL team.
