Marc Bureau (born May 19, 1966 in Trois-Rivières, Quebec) is a retired Canadian ice hockey center who played in the National Hockey League for the Calgary Flames, Minnesota North Stars, Tampa Bay Lightning, Montreal Canadiens, and Philadelphia Flyers.
On February 1, 1996, Bureau was involved in an incident where he put an elbow to the head of former Canadiens player Petr Svoboda; Svoboda was sprawled on the ice and bleeding from the head with some in attendance believing he was dead.
Marc Bureau is now a frequent guest commentator on TQS french language show 110% in which he often opines that European players are responsible for the increase in cheap shots in the NHL.[citation needed]
