The Bruins selected Marchand in the third round, 71st overall, of the [[2006 NHL Entry Draft]].

Marchand was raised in [[Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia]], the oldest of four children born to two local hockey coaches. Between 2004 and 2008, Marchand played for three [[junior ice hockey]] teams: he was drafted by the [[Moncton Wildcats]], was traded to the [[Val-d'Or Foreurs]] in 2006, and was traded again to the [[Halifax Mooseheads]] in 2007. At the same time, the Bruins were [[Scout (sports)|scouting]] Marchand, and made a trade with the [[New York Islanders]] to ensure that he was drafted by Boston in 2006.

After Halifax fell to the [[Gatineau Olympiques]] in the 2009 QMJHL championships, with Marchand a [[healthy scratch]] for their elimination game, the Bruins told Marchand to stay home and report that fall for training camp. He spent the [[2008–09 AHL season|2008–09]] AHL season with the [[Providence Bruins]] before making his NHL debut in October 2009. Marchand was a member of the Bruins' starting roster in 2010, playing on the fourth line and helping the Bruins win the [[2011 Stanley Cup Finals]]. Marchand and the Bruins struggled in the next several seasons, first when a [[2012–13 NHL lockout|lockout]] shortened the [[2012–13 NHL season]], followed by two consecutive playoff misses. Meanwhile, Marchand was increasing both his number of goals per season and his reputation as a [[Pest (ice hockey)|pest]].

During the [[2017–18 NHL season]], Marchand received a series of fines, suspensions, and media controversies for hits on his opponents. He decided after the season to focus on improving his character, and followed through by scoring 100 points during the [[2018–19 NHL season]]. Marchand's high-scoring season was undercut by a disappointing defeat at the [[2019 Stanley Cup Finals]], and as he moved into the [[2019–20 NHL season]], Marchand focused on setting up scoring chances for linemates [[Patrice Bergeron]] and [[David Pastrňák]]. However, Marchand's reputation of suspensions and rule-breaking behavior continued in the [[2021–22 NHL season]], as he was suspended a total of nine games in that season alone,<ref>((Cite web |title=Bruins' Brad Marchand receives match penalty after punching Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry and hitting him in head with stick, Marchand is widely considered one of the dirtiest players to ever play in the NHL. |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/bruins-brad-marchand-receives-match-042702872.html |access-date=April 16, 2022 |website=sports.yahoo.com |date=February 9, 2022))</ref> and becoming the most suspended player in NHL history, in terms of individual suspensions.

With the retirements of both [[Patrice Bergeron]] and [[David Krejčí]] during the 2023 off-season, Marchand, along with Milan Lucic (who returned to Boston in 2023 in free agency), became the last active players from the Stanley Cup-winning [[2010–11 Boston Bruins season|2010–11 Bruins roster]] still playing for the team.<ref>((cite web |last1=Rosenthal |first1=Tim |title="It just feels like home again." – Milan Lucic on his Boston return |url=https://www.bruinsdaily.com/2023/09/08/milan-lucic-boston-return-feels-like-home/ |website=Bruins Daily |access-date=March 30, 2024 |date=September 8, 2023))</ref>

On September 20, 2023, in advance of the [[2023–24 NHL season|2023–24 season]], Marchand was named [[Captain (ice hockey)|captain]] of the Bruins, succeeding the recently-retired Patrice Bergeron.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/brad-marchand-named-captain-of-boston-bruins |title=Marchand named Bruins captain, replaces Bergeron |website=nhl.com |date=September 20, 2023 |access-date=September 20, 2023))</ref>

==Playing style and criticism==
[[File:Bradmarchand2011.JPG|thumb|Marchand warming up with the Bruins in October 2011]]
Throughout his NHL career, Marchand has been characterized as a "[[Pest (ice hockey)|pest]]", a hockey player who attempts to frustrate his opponents through physical or verbal attacks and annoyance.<ref>((cite magazine |last1=Prewitt |first1=Alex |title=The Rise of the Superpest: How Skillful Agitators Prove Invaluable in the NHL Playoffs |url=https://www.si.com/nhl/2020/07/30/super-pests-nhl-playoffs-brad-marchand-matthew-tkachuk |access-date=July 26, 2021 |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=July 30, 2020 |archive-date=May 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210502140228/https://www.si.com/nhl/2020/07/30/super-pests-nhl-playoffs-brad-marchand-matthew-tkachuk |url-status=live |url-access=subscription))</ref> Marchand developed many of his agitation tactics from a young age: he knew that he was smaller than many of his opponents at only ((convert|5|ft|9|in)) and ((convert|181|lbs)), and subsequently developed a system of hits and trash talking that would give him an advantage over some of the larger players.<ref name="nhl" /><ref>((cite news |last1=Guerard |first1=Gabby |title=Charismatic Characters: Bruins' Brad Marchand A Pest With Elite Skills |url=https://nesn.com/2020/05/charismatic-characters-bruins-brad-marchand-a-pest-with-elite-skills/ |access-date=July 26, 2021 |work=New England Sports Network |date=May 19, 2020 |archive-date=June 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200614141349/https://nesn.com/2020/05/charismatic-characters-bruins-brad-marchand-a-pest-with-elite-skills/ |url-status=live ))</ref> Marchand has modelled his behaviour after that of [[Theo Fleury]], a ((convert|5|ft|6|in)) former pest who was able to leverage the frustration that he caused his opponents into offensive production. Marchand's teammate from 2016 to 2020 [[David Backes]] called the skater "the motor on [the Bruins]" in a May 2019 interview, while then head coach [[Bruce Cassidy]] has noted that, although it may appear undisciplined, many of Marchand's tactics are calculated to get under the target's skin.<ref>((cite news |last1=Allen |first1=Kevin |title=Love him or hate him, Bruins super-pest Brad Marchand always gets results |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/columnist/kevinallen/2019/05/27/stanley-cup-2019-brad-marchand-bruins-hated-man/1207184001/ |access-date=July 26, 2021 |work=USA Today |date=May 27, 2019 |archive-date=October 26, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201026141129/https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/columnist/kevinallen/2019/05/27/stanley-cup-2019-brad-marchand-bruins-hated-man/1207184001/ |url-status=live ))</ref>
