Monday, as is tradition, the Maple Leafs made their annual visit to the Hospital for Sick Kids in downtown Toronto.

Among those who made the trip to Sick Kids was Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Mitch Marner, Morgan Rielly, Jake Gardiner, head coach Mike Babcock and numerous other Leafs players and personnel. The annual visit gave young Leafs fans the opportunity to not only play video games and table hockey with their favourite players, but to also interact with them one-on-one in a meaningful way. 

 

 

During the visit Marner and Martin sat down with a few youngsters for a game of NHL. If Marner's humourous Instagram post is anything to go by, the young fans really took it to Martin, something that everyone seemed to have a friendly laugh at.

 

 

It's always great to see NHL players spreading so much joy to fans entering the holiday season, especially young fans.
