Stephanie Marner, the wife of Toronto Maple Leafs alternate captain Mitch Marner, announced she is expecting her first child with the NHL star.

The tournament itself exceeded expectations and on Thursday, Canada was awarded the first ever gold medal for winning the 4 Nations Face-Off with a 3-2 victory over their rival Americans.

The hope now, for long-suffering Maple Leafs fans, is that Marner can use his Team Canada experience, his time immersed in a room free of doubt and panic, in the same way that Marchand once did.

That’s what the 4 Nations Face-Off did for the Toronto Maple Leafs forward, who admits his performance at key times for Canada has given him fuel to enter a new chapter in his career, one he hopes is a far more lucrative one.
