<p>Yesterday, Mitch Marner capped off one of the single greatest seasons in the history of junior hockey. He finished second in OHL scoring, won the league MVP award, dominated the playoffs, won that MVP, dominated the Memorial Cup, won that MVP, and won the CHL MVP award to top it all off. </p>
<p>He&#8217;s the third player in history to sweep all of the MVP awards, the second youngest to do so, and the first to do it in 16 years. At times, he looked like he was using the games as practices, defeating his opponents at 80, 70, 60% intensity because anything further would have been embarrassing.</p>
<p>But it won&#8217;t last. At 5&#8217;11, Mitch Marner is too small to play in the NHL.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It&#8217;s been said by many and I&#8217;m going to repeat the sentiment. The NHL is a big boy&#8217;s league that is dominated by big, tough, character players who will defend the honour of their teammates by brutally destroying anybody surrounding them. Marner&#8217;s height, something he&#8217;s been picked on for by hockey eyes since he was in kindergarten, strongly correlates with having a career ending injury in his second or third shift. The numbers don&#8217;t lie:</p>

<p>Yeah, well, he&#8217;s still going to have to put on weight. Something about an NHL summer, or whatever. How can we expect him to keep up his ~58 point NHLe from this year if he can&#8217;t bench a small car?</p>
