When Marner went back to his old high school, he was not yet a big house hold name in the SHL or even cracked the Calgary Dragons roster yet. While Mats Marner had been taken sixth overall in the season fifty four SHL draft and has a lot of potential as one of the Dragons most promising prospects right now he has not accomplished anything tangible in the SHL yet. So his message to the kids was that you need always be working hard to achieve your dreams and that even when you envision something and get on the right track towards accomplishing your goals you should never let up and keep pushing forward. Ultimately nothing is given to you in life and whether people believe in you or do not does not really matter at the end of the day as the only person that can make things happen is yourself so it is extremely important for you to believe in yourself and keep yourself accountable for your goals in life.
