There’s something of a meme that runs around Toronto Maple Leafs fandom. What good Toronto boy doesn’t want to come home and play for his team? That’s why the Leafs are going to get Steven Stamkos, or John Tavares—

Or maybe not. But they do have some pretty good local boys already, and one of them is set to make his Leafs home debut.

Dream come true. Home opener in the city I grew up in! #letsgetit

See, now that’s just plain cool. (And a really cool photo to choose, too.) I can’t even imagine what’s going to be going through Marner’s head tonight; when he calls this a “dream come true”, he probably means it literally. Who doesn’t, at some point, grow up dreaming to represent their city like this?

Marner is one of the lucky ones. He hasn’t scored any points in the NHL yet, but just imagine what could happen tonight, and how amazing it could be.

More amazing than it’s already looking, that is. Good luck to Marner, and all the Leafs - the ACC is going to be rocking.
