Marcus Foligno (born August 10, 1991) is an American-born Canadian professional ice hockey winger and alternate captain for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL).
As a youth, Foligno played in the 2003 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Foligno was selected by the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)'s Sudbury Wolves in the second round, 39th overall, in the 2007 OHL Priority Selection, the same team that drafted his older brother, Nick.
Nicknamed “Moose,” he was selected 104th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
After two seasons with the club, Foligno was selected in the fourth round, 104th overall, by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

He began play with the Sabres' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rochester Americans, in the 2011–12 season.
Foligno was called up to the Sabres on December 19, 2011, and made his NHL debut on December 20, playing against the Ottawa Senators, the team his brother Nick Foligno was playing with at the time.
Approaching his final junior season in the OHL with the Sudbury Wolves, Foligno was Invited to take part in Canada's 2011 national junior team selection camp for the 2011 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.
Making a positive impression, he was later selected to Canada's roster for the tournament, held in his birthplace of Buffalo, New York.
He completed the tournament with two goals and four points in seven games as Canada claimed the silver medal.
Foligno was born in Buffalo, New York, the son of former NHL player and Buffalo Sabre Mike Foligno and Janis Foligno.

Like his brother Nick, Marcus Foligno used their father's "Foligno Leap" as his first career goal celebration.

As a result, Marcus used the "Leap" on his next goal in Buffalo on March 14, 2012.
Foligno broke the family tradition and did not choose the numbers 17 (worn by his father) or 71 (worn by his brother).
Upon being drafted by the Sabres, he elected to wear number 82 (assigned to him at camp) instead of his father's number 17.
