Outdoor Career
In addition to his extensive indoor career, Marinaro spent several seasons playing outdoor soccer. In 1986, he played for the Toronto Blizzard of the National Soccer League while his father was an assistant coach with the team. Marinaro was team captain, but when his father was elevated to head coach of the Blizzard, he stripped his son of the captaincy. Marinaro remained with the Blizzard for the 1987 Canadian Soccer League season then returned to the Blizzard for the 1993 American Professional Soccer League season. He also had one season with Rochester Raging Rhinos of the A-League in 1996. Marinaro only played four games, but scored seven goals, as the Rhinos fell to the Seattle Sounders in the championship game.
