More Marner

Mitch Marner 

This kid is special. 

London Knights first round draft choice, Mitch Marner displayed a rare skill in the Knights 6-3 loss to the Plymouth Whalers. 

Although just 16, he has mastered the art of the backhand pass.   

Marner found Mark Gazdic with a clever backhanded pass through traffic to set up the Knights' first goal of the game.  Marner laid a nice pass to Remi Elie for the Knights third goal as Elie unleashed a slap shot from just inside the blueline. 
  
 If you are playing with Mitch Marner you need to be ready to get the puck on your stick.  He will find you - even on the backhand.   So many players don't practice the art of the backhand pass.  Too often the time it takes to move the puck to the forehand allows a checker to break-up the play.  Not so with Marner.
