Mitch Marner, the talented Toronto Maple Leafs player, became a father this past Sunday, welcoming a baby boy with his wife.
He understandably missed team practice to be with his new family, a joyous occasion preceding the intense playoff match.
The birth of his son occurred just before the Leafs' crucial playoff game against the Florida Panthers.
Balancing fatherhood and his demanding hockey career, Marner now faces the exciting challenge of the upcoming playoffs.
