Here's what Leafs' Mitch Marner bought with his first NHL pay cheque
I mean, come on.
In a video released by Under Armour, four NHL stars revealed what they purchased with their first big league contract.
For New Jersey Devils winger Taylor Hall, it was a pair of new suits so that he could look good showing up to the rink.
Former Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel (now of the Pittsburgh Penguins) bought a brand new Escalade.
LA Kings defenceman Drew Doughty got himself a Range Rover.
And what about Leafs centre Mitch Marner?
Well by comparison, he made the other three guys look like a bunch of selfish jerks.
Marner didn’t buy anything for himself. Instead, he used the money to say thanks to his mom.
“The first thing I bought with it, was (get) my mom a car,” the 20-year-old said. “I took her to the dealership, under cover, (making her think) that we were going to buy me a car. There was a little bow around the front and I told her it was hers.”
This is heart-melting stuff.
“It was just a gift to give back for what she’s done for her whole life to sacrifice for me.”
What a guy.
