The Toronto Maple Leafs have been thrilled with Mitch Marner's contributions since making his NHL debut, but now, he faces an interesting accusation away from the ice.

While there's been very little negativity surrounding Marner off the ice since his made his debut in Toronto, that has now seemingly changed, as a user on X, formerly Twitter has spoken about their disappointing interaction with Marner off the ice.

[Mitch Marner] LOOKED me in my eyes at a signing after one of those open practice training camps, looked at the white kid beside me (same age btw), signed like three things for him and just completely walked past me and went to the next white kid

Since posting the comment, it has been viewed almost 24,000 times, and while there's no way to officially confirm or deny the story at this point, it seems very out of character. The 26-year old is often considered very likeable and a great role model on and off the ice, so if this story is true, it would be very disappointing for fans of the team, but at this point, there may be much more to the story.

In 2023-24, Marner has excelled on the ice once again, posting 14 goals and 38 points in 33 games played, and continues to be a key part of the Leafs as a player and a leader, so we will continue to monitor this story to see if more evidence or comments come to light.
