No Leafs player has worn Gilmour’s 93 since it was lifted to the rafters at the Air Canada Centre during a ceremony in January, 2009. That gesture left a big impression on Marner, a “huge” Gilmour fan growing up. Marner would go on to stardom in the OHL wearing the 93 with the London Knights, but has since worn No. Doug Gilmour is a noted admirer of Mitch Marner, so it was natural for the Maple Leafs legend to offer his famed No. 93 was officially retired in October, when the Leafs retired 17 player numbers in honour of the franchise’s 100th season as the Leafs.
