Mitch Marner's childhood home burns down

[TheProspector]

Holy ****. From Sportsnet:

Marner, who celebrated his 19th birthday on Thursday, was met by his parents in the hallway outside of Knights dressing room following the win. Paul Marner received a call from a neighbour while driving to his son’s game. He was told by the Fire Marshal that firefighters were still fighting the blaze and he would not be allowed near the house until it was deemed safe.

No-one was in the house, and their pets were rescued and survived.

Brutal. On the bright side once he gets his callup Im sure he can help his parents replace what they lost. Just gotta keep in mind the rest of the people who lost their homes and arent as well off.

This is the fire itself. It's very terrifying to see:

That's sad

 

[DontPanik]

Wow I was wondering why there were so many fire trucks out yesterday. I live right around the corner from his house.

15 min from me. Crazy

A sad, tragic day for Mitch and his family. All those memories...

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Must've left the stove on before they drove to his game? How does something like that even happen?

 

[Kurisu]

hopefully this makes him stronger.

Glad they got the pets out safe. I think anything happening to them would have hurt them worse than losing the house. I know it would've for me at least.

15 min from me. Crazy

Right? About 5 minutes from me, really crazy.

Luckily no one was hurt.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Didn't know Marner grew up in Maple/Vaughan. I always thought he was from Markham because that's what Wikipedia says.

 

[Mitchy]

Oh man, that's awful and just extremely unfortunate. So many precious things gone. Glad that everyone - including the pets - are safe though.

Hope they recover quickly.

They rule out foul play?

Hopefully Mitch does not have a stalker ... if I knew where he lived I certainly would stalk him for an autograph

 

[The Beyonder]

Luckily no one was hurt, all that really matters. Luckily he's a pro athlete and if he makes the team next year, he can get them a new one.

 

[Nylanders Flow]

Wow, that sucks for the family. Luckily someone got the dog out

 

[slozo]

Holy crap, scary blaze ... glad to hear at least no one was in that.

It's a big hit o your psyche to have that happen to you, I know from personal experience, my house burned down when I was 16. I know financially he'll obviously recover faster than my family did, but it's a horrible ordeal to go through.

Best of luck to him and especially his parents as they try to recover.

it';ll be marner burning down villages in time

this. but thankfully no one was hurt

Wouldn't home insurance cover this sort of thing?

 

[RoyalGremlin]

Nvm. Glad all is ok

You making fun of my Leafs suit? My mom made that for me ... not everyone can afford a jersey you know! The crowds at the ACC like it ... I always get a lot of admiring looks ...

The wikipedia doesn't mention this, but I know he lived in Whitby for at least few years, before he went to Hill Academy.

As for the fire, glad no one was hurt...sad and scary for the family.
