Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner has always made time for the Marner Assist Foundation, but it seems like this year's summer event has been canceled.
For six years now, Mitch Marner has been an active member of the community in Toronto, especially thanks to his Marner Assist Foundation.
Every summer, he holds an incredible event that helps raise funds for a good cause. Unfortunately, this year, he will not be going through with the event.
According to an announcement from the foundation, Marner's busy schedule this summer has made it so that they cannot hold the event.
It was supposed to go down between July 10th and 11th. Given the decision Mitch has to make, it should come as no surprise that he had to cancel.
«After thoughtful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year's event, scheduled for July 10th and 11th. The uncertainty around Mitch's summer schedule makes it challenging to plan responsibly. Out of respect for the time and commitment of our partners and supporters, we feel it's best to make this decision now.
While we are disappointed not to come together this year, the Foundation will continue to honour all its commitments to charitable partners.»

However, some are going to see this as a truly disappointing slight. After all, the charity should be bigger than the game of hockey.
Where is Mitch Marner going in free agency?
For now, it appears as though Mitch Marner will be going out West, whether that be the Los Angeles Kings or even the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
Overall, the forward will be making a whole lot of money on his next deal, and Leafs fans will likely hold a grudge against him for leaving.
Unfortunately, this is the business of hockey. Players come and go all the time. Even the ones who can turn your team into Cup contenders.
Hopefully, Marner still does right by the city, even on his way out. It would be a shame for this to end on bad terms.
