Did Marner get taller?

[member 300185]

My friend, who is 6 feet even said he bumped into Marner and said he was as tall as he was.

Anyone have any idea if this is true? I like the idea of him getting a bit bigger and taller as long as it doesn't affect those mitts.

he's listed at 6'

Wasn't he like 5'10 last year?

no I don't think so. I think he was 5'11 at the combine

no I don't think so. I think he was 5'11 at the combine

When I watch him I always think he is short but I think its his skating style that makes him lean over.

 

[Smif]

People think he's short because he hangs out with Matthews, Martin, and Marleau lol...

 

[ImpartialNHLfan]

Maybe he's finally hitting puberty

 

[Randy Randerson]

it's weight that has always been Marner's sub-normal measurement, 5'11" and around 160lbs at the combine. Another 10lbs from where he is now and he'll be in the normal range of the bell curve for height and weight among NHL'ers, especially with the averages falling due to smaller players being brought back into the league on mass

I was also shocked at how often he pinned a larger guy in the offensive corners and came away with the puck under control last year, he's very effective in traffic even with the small frame

 

[Erndog]

He likes to wear his hats high on his head, probably what confused your friend

 

[rent free]

No

 

[Advanced stats]

He's always been 5-11 - 6 feet

must have been a difficult childbirth

He does look smaller than usual, but you have to consider pro athletes at the NHL level are all taller in stature than regular joe's on the street. I've ran into some Leaf/Marlies, listed 6'1 or so, and they looked taller/more built in person.

 

[MattySnipes]

I don't feel he's gotten taller, but i can definitely see the gains he's made in regards to his overall physical makeup. He's slowly filling into his frame, his chest has expanded along with shoulders. You can tell he's definitely been putting in a lot of work so far this off-season into being stronger in a sense.

 

[thewave]

He is filling out as well. I don't think he is taller. Certainly stronger and it was showing in the PO. If he follows Kadri size wise he's going to be a phenom, maybe rival Matthews.

I am not just saying that either, I really believe Marner has the highest ceiling.

According to the main board he's 5'9" and shrinking.

Lol hf

Wait until he plays a full season with this beast Toronto Maple Leafs Stats Analysis: How Good Is John Tavares

Tavares will make him taller ha

Tavares advanced stats put him 2nd 3rd best player inbthe league. The article suggest Matthews is trending to top 5 best players in the league.

Willy and Mitch are two really really fortunate right wingers. This can only turn out good people!

 

[Mickey Marner]

Keep in mind he was listed at 5'7 130 when he was drafted into the OHL. This is a late growth spurt he's undergone.

 

[Boutette]

Elevator skates.

 

[Scott Malkinson]

It's threads like this that give the Toronto market the rep it has lol.

It's only July 4th. September seems so far away.

Been around 6 feet for a while now.

 

[Mr Hockey]

Has been said to be 6' for over a year now, he just needs to build his muscle mass over the next couple years. a lean 185'ish would be gtg!

 

[TheScandal89]

Kinda off topic I remember running into TFC legend Dwayne de Rosario, listed at 5'11 (same as me), but i remember him seeming more like 5'9 . Real nice guy though .

 

[96]

He’s the same exact height as me pretty much, and I am 6 feet. So no
