Marner, Thornton and Bogosian — who currently plays for the Minnesota Wild – all suited up for the Leafs during the 2020-21 season, with the trio apparently becoming close friends.
Leafs fans – many of whom have been famously known to be fickle – had mixed feelings about the snaps.
Marner, who spent the first nine years of his NHL career with the Leafs, left the team this off-season and signed a massive eight-year, US$96-million contract with the Vegas Golden Knights.

During his time with Toronto, Marner racked up 221 goals and 520 assists for 741 points over 657 regular-season games, but often was the biggest target for criticism over the franchise’s repeated post-season failures.

“Take that Bearwear sweater off. Banned from Muskoka. Head down to Lake Tahoe,” one user commented on Marner’s post.

“This is like when ur ex drops a summer dump with all new friends and ur like woo, dodged a bullet,” another wrote.
“A lot of golf pics for not having time to have a 1 day charity golf tourney,” a third commented, referring to Marner cancelling his annual event this summer in the midst of his departure from the team.
Marner’s remaining fans in Toronto should have Jan. 23, 2026, circled on their calendar, though. That’s the date the star comes to town for his lone visit of the 2025-26 season with the Golden Knights.

“Leaving isn’t easy. This city is where I grew up, where I fell in love with hockey, and where I’ve had the incredible honour of living out my childhood dream. Wearing the Maple Leaf on my chest wasn’t just about playing for a team, it was about representing my home.”
“When I was drafted, all I wanted was to help bring a Stanley Cup to Toronto,” Marner said. “That was always the goal, and I came up short. I know how much this team means to this city, and I know the expectations that come with wearing this jersey.
“I gave everything I had, but in the end, it wasn’t enough. That’s hard to admit, because I wanted it so badly, for all of us.”
