Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner revealed the personal toll he and his family faced following the team’s playoff elimination against the Florida Panthers in the second round of the 2024-25 season. In July, Marner was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights in a sign-and-trade deal.Speaking on TSN, Marner explained how his final weeks in Toronto were clouded by frightening incidents, including his home address being leaked online and receiving death threats. “Obviously, Games 1 and 2 went amazing against Florida. … Games 3 to 5 went really bad. [Game] 3 was actually a really good game, went to overtime, and they scored late in the game to win it. But we lose Game 7 as we do, in a non-enjoyable way of all time, probably," Marner said. "I get home. … I’m pretty disappointed, devastated. The thought also of it being my last Maple Leaf game at home." Marner then shared how his wife’s family alerted him that strangers were posting his address, encouraging people to “pay a visit.” He admitted that while he understands Toronto’s passionate market, having grown up in Toronto, the situation crossed the line when his family’s safety was at risk, especially with a newborn son. "It’s a little tough, obviously. We kind of dealt with it for the last two years in a way. The market’s very passionate. … they love their team. … I know it, I was born and raised there...," Marner said. "But when your family’s safety comes into question, especially having a new son, I don’t think it’s acceptable," he added. He described needing full-time security at his home for two weeks after the playoffs. He even felt uneasy even during simple moments like walking with his dog or child. Despite the off-ice challenges, Mitch Marner had a standout season. He recorded a team-leading 102 points (27 goals, 75 assists) in the regular season, while adding 13 points in 13 playoff games.
