In a world where wealth and fame often overshadow empathy, Mitchell Marner and his wife Stephanie LaChance have made a breathtaking commitment that’s inspiring fans far beyond the rink. The Toronto Maple Leafs star has confirmed he will donate 100% of his season’s winnings and sponsorship earnings to charities focused on youth support, mental health, and homeless relief across Canada.
“This season is about more than hockey,” Marner said. “It’s about using our platform to be a force for good. Too many kids out there don’t have safety, food, or support—and we want to change that.”
This unprecedented move comes as Marner continues to shine as one of the NHL’s top right wingers. His bonuses, performance incentives, and brand partnerships total in the millions—putting this act among the most generous in pro sports history.
While some players have made charitable contributions, few have given away their entire earnings. Marner’s gesture stands as a bold counter to a culture that often celebrates excess over compassion.
In a league built on toughness and grit, Marner is proving true strength lies in selfless leadership and heart—on and off the ice.
