Mitch Marner Shares His Highlight of the All-Star Game
Mitch Marner made the most of his all-star performance.
Apart from breaking an all-time assist record, and being a pivotal piece in Team Atlantic's triumphant victory, Marner shared what really made the event so special.
While he was there, Marner got to spend time with childhood hero Sidney Crosby.
The two shared a car ride together where Marner asked about the golden goal, and other Crosby wisdom. It's hard to imagine, but Marner was only twelve years old when Sidney Crosby scored The Golden Goal
Watching the Golden Goal, obviously that one was a pretty big memory for me. That one went viral in our household, so that was a pretty exciting one. Lot of YouTube videos on Sid.
I grew up with a couple of those Crosby Reebok sticks. Those were kind of one of my favorite sticks growing up. Anything that had the Crosby name on it, I wanted it in my hands.
When asked about Crosby after, Marner didn't hold back in his praise:
Just how Sid goes about his business, he's competitive as hell, wants to win anything he's a part of. Just a super great guy off the ice as well. Been able to kind of get to know him a little bit this weekend, and a camp we had two years ago. Just an awesome guy. For how talented and skilled he is, and for what he does on that ice, he's just a super down-to-earth human being and something that you appreciate from someone
Do we have some besties in the making here?
