After the Leafs’ newest NCAA signing Jacob Quillan joined them for back-to-back home games against the Utica Comets, the parent team moved big defenceman Noah Chadwick to the farm on Sunday after the completion of his Western Hockey League season with the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Chadwick was a sixth-round pick in Brad Treliving’s first draft and had 56 points in 66 games, adding one more point in four playoff games. He was also WHL Scholastic Player of the Year.

The Marlies beat Utica 5-1 on Saturday, but lost by the same score Sunday. Quillan, who had 46 points in 39 games with Quinnipiac, played in both matches. The Dartmouth, N.S., native shoots left and can play on the wing or at centre. The speed and physicality of the American Hockey League in a late-season playoff environment was quite a baptism.
With a record of 32-23-9-2, the Marlies are fourth in the Northern Division, needing to stay fifth or higher in the tight group to get a playoff spot. Joseph Blandisi had their only goal Sunday.
