Maurice Marquet

Maurice Allan Marquet (born 3 February 1954, in Christchurch) is a former field hockey player from New Zealand, who was a member of the national team that finished seventh at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Marquet grew up in Christchurch and played hockey, always as a goalkeeper, for a variety of clubs. He moved to Auckland in 1976 and played for their provincial team. He first represented New Zealand in hockey in 1977. He was chosen to represent New Zealand at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Both he and his wife were teachers and in 1981, they moved to Lawrence for employment reasons. The intention was to join a hockey club in Dunedin some away. Shortly after he announced his retirement over injury concerns, though.

By mid-1982, Marquet played for Otago's provincial team, announcing that he had overcome his injury concerns. By September 1982, Marquet was back in the national team. By November 1982, he had applied for teaching positions at three Canterbury schools. By mid-1983, Marquet still played for Otago but had another knee injury.

In May 1984, Marquet—still playing for Otago—was selected for the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
