Masi Marjamaki (Born January 16, 1985 in Pori, Finland) is a Finnish ice hockey player who currently plays for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL.
Marjamaki, a 6'2 195 pound right wing, was originally drafted by the Boston Bruins as the 66th overall pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. However, he never came to terms with the Bruins and re-entered the draft in 2005, where he was the 144th overall pick by the New York Islanders.
He played his junior hockey for the Red Deer Rebels and the Moose Jaw Warriors of the WHL before becoming professional in the 2005-2006 season.
After totaling 31 points (9 goals and 22 assists) along with 77 penalty minutes in 75 games for Bridgeport (the Islanders' top affiliate) in the 2005-2006 season, Marjamaki was called up by the big club and made his NHL debut on April 18, 2006 against the Philadelphia Flyers, logging 5 minutes and 17 seconds of icetime.
Marjamaki is known for his gritty, physical style of play but is also a good stickhandler who can put points on the board. He has received comparisons to Kirk Maltby of the NHL's Detroit Red Wings.
