HALIFAX, NS (September 6, 2025) – The Halifax Thunderbirds today selected forward Alex Marinier with the sixth overall selection in the 2025 NLL Draft. 

The right-handed forward was looked at as one of the top offensive prospects heading into this year's draft.

This past summer, the Burlington, Ontario native finished his first year in the Major Series Lacrosse League with the Cobourg Kodiaks, posting 28 goals and 29 assists. 

Marinier had two separate 90-plus-point seasons with the Burlington Blaze to end his junior career. During the 2023 season, he posted 49 goals in the regular season, helping to lead his team to the Minto Cup in the process.

Marinier will be returning to the Ohio State University to wrap up his college career and will join the Thunderbirds next season.
