Mitch Marner begins a new chapter with the Vegas Golden Knights after his emotional departure from Toronto
Mitch Marner begins a new chapter with the Vegas Golden Knights ( Image Via Twitter) After about a decade in the Maple Leafs jersey, Mitch Marner's career looks to take quite a dramatic turn as he prepares to skate for the Vegas Golden Knights. While the ride westward is undoubtedly a new and major chapter in his hockey career, it is also one that is very deeply personal to him. The Toronto native, having always grown up dreaming of a Stanley Cup that would be coming home to his place, is now hoping to work through a franchise that, on the other hand, has been hugely successful recently and has emerged as a very strong culture. Mitch Marner's playoff struggles reignite criticism despite regular-season impact [FULL Q&A] NHL forward Mitch Marner on becoming a Golden Knight Mitch Marner's 2025 playtime started with promise, but it soon deteriorated as the Toronto Maple Leafs failed to realize their championship dreams. Despite Marner putting up 13 points in the playoffs, he fell off the radar in Game 7 versus the Florida Panthers, as his side endured a gut-wrenching 6–1 loss, thus inviting all sorts of heavy criticism. Marner was visibly frustrated, even yelling at some teammates on the bench, a sight that only brought home to the powers that be the extent of his anguish as well as the expectations heaped upon him as the hometown hero. Assisting Auston Matthews for a Game 6 goal was a brief flurry of hope that could not revive Toronto's playoff run. Again, as the Leafs stumbled at this same round of the playoffs, Marner's moment in the postseason was overshadowed by an implosion from his teammates. These playoff performances, coupled with pressure from fans and media alike, seemed to spur talk of a new chapter. The blockbuster trade: Mitch Marner to Vegas Golden Knights June 30, 2023: The Maple Leafs pulled off another high-level sign-and-trade. Mitch Marner signed an eight-year, $96 million extension with Toronto before being sent to Vegas in exchange for Nicolas Roy. For Marner, this was more than business, though-it was a welcome chance. He would later figure out why Vegas was absolutely on the top of his list. In Vegas, Marner said the emphasis lay on the winning atmosphere and culture of the team, and hence, in his eyes, there was much more to it than calling it an escape from Toronto's intense glare. There was a real opportunity to be a part of a roster that genuinely has a shot at lifting the Stanley Cup. He also added that, on a personal level, life in his new city suits his young family, so the decision was as much a family one as it was a business one.

Which team did Marner join in 2025? Ans: Marner was traded by the Maple Leafs and then sent to the Vegas Golden Knights. Q3. How long was Mitch Marner with Toronto?

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres on wearing Thierry Henry's famous No 14: ‘That one was available, so an easy choice to take it'
Arsenal fans have been waiting for a striker signing for a long time now and they finally got their wish as they shelled out big money to draft in Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon. And to add to the hype of his arrival, it was confirmed that he'd be wearing the iconic No 14 jersey, made famous by club legend Thierry Henry. 'Of course I know about the history,' said Gyokeres, about choosing that number, according to BBC. 'To be honest there weren't so many numbers available. There weren't too many to pick from. But of course, that one was available. So when I knew that it was an easy choice to take it.' Of course, the jersey has been worn by others too but Henry adds immense weight to it. According to the Arsenal website, the 174 goals in the Premier League that Henry alone scored wearing No 14 is beaten in tally only by three other numbers: 'Only players wearing the number 10 (180 goals), number 7 (203), and number 8 (212) jerseys have bettered Henry's record.' Henry joined Arsenal in 1999 and was assigned the number that been worn by Martin Keown previously. The French striker had another spell at the club where he wore No 12 on loan. Theo Walcott was Henry's successor to the No 14 jersey, and then came Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who also went on to lead the Arsenal. The last player to wear No 14 at Arsenal was Eddie Nketiah who has since gone on to join Crystal Palace. But Gyokeres is not daunted by the weight of the jersey number. 'I don't know. It's not really my intention to be compared with what he's achieved in his career,' Gyokeres said. 'Especially here. I just want to do my own thing and show my qualities. Of course he was an amazing player, but different from me. I just want to try to do my own thing.' On the striker wearing that number, manager Mikel Arteta told the club website: 'I think I use the word conviction. That's the first thing that I noticed when I spoke to him. Someone very determined, someone that was already attached to the club, the way he was talking about the club, the history, in this case Thierry [Henry], and what the shirt represented. I felt it, so when you feel it, go for it.' Club captain Martin Odegaard said he was looking forward to joining up with the striker. 'I think you've all seen what he's done in his career so far. Especially the last season at Sporting, the numbers speak for themselves. He's a very complete player. He's physical, strong, fast, good finisher, and intelligent as well. I think he's a very complete striker and you can also see the hunger, the energy he brings. I'm really excited to have him with the team. He's only trained a few times, but you can already see the quality, the energy, and the willingness. I'm excited to have a pitch with him,' he is quoted as saying by ahead of the friendly against North London rivals Tottenham in Hong Kong.
