Marcel Goc (/ˈɡɒtʃ/; born 24 August 1983) is a German professional ice hockey player who is currently playing with the Adler Mannheim of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). Goc has two brothers who also play professional hockey. Sascha Goc has played for Team Germany as well and currently plays for the Schwenninger Wild Wings. His younger brother Nikolai also plays for Adler Mannheim and Team Germany.
Goc was drafted in the first round, 20th overall by the Sharks in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, though he remained in Germany until 2003. He spent all of the 2003–04 season with the Cleveland Barons, the Sharks' then minor league affiliate, but joined the Sharks during the 2004 playoffs. He holds the franchise record in Cleveland for longest assist streak (7 games).
In his first NHL game, Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals against the St. Louis Blues, Goc assisted on the series-clinching goal by deflecting the puck away from Blues goaltender Chris Osgood and right to Mark Smith. Then, in his second game, Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Colorado Avalanche, he scored the series-clinching goal by deflecting a shot past Avalanche goaltender David Aebischer.
