Pat was a fan of the nickname. "There's something about it that I liked. It spoke to that I wasn't an easy player to play against." It came from his teammates and he took it as "a badge of honor."

So of course, we finally get down to the reason for the call: Does Pat "Little Ball of Hate" Verbeek think it's okay that Brad Marchand is getting called "Little Ball of Hate" by the President of the United States, among others? "Yeah," the 1063 point, 2905 PIM former player said, "I think he should take it as a badge of honor.

The media have used the term for years as well. This also reminds me how people love to hate players from the other team but are quiet about the agitators and enforcers on their own teams. Haters gonna hate.
