Toronto Maple Leaf Mitch Marner made an adorable trade at Tuesday night's hockey game.

Before the game against the Edmonton Oilers, Marner traded a fan a hockey puck for a toy for his best pal, his chocolate lab Zeus.

In a video clip shared on Instagram, Marner skates over to a fan who is holding up a sign that reads, "16 trade you a toy for Zeus for a stick or puck please," and it even includes a photo of Zeus.

Marner throws a puck over the glass and the young fan then tosses the hockey player a blue and white plush toy in the shape of a whale.

This isn't the first time Marner has received toys for Zeus.

In November 2023, a fan from Nova Scotia brought Zeus a plush lobster and Marner shared his pup's reaction to getting the toy.

In the video, Zeus appears super happy when he gets the toy.

Marner fans will know how much the hockey player loves Zeus.

If you scroll through Marner's Instagram account you'll see he often shares photos of the two of them.

Marner once revealed he even has a "Z" on his hockey equipment for his four-legged friend.

Zeus was also by Marner's side on his wedding day in August 2023, and the pup even wore his very own tux.

Although it was a loss for the Leafs in Edmonton on Tuesday (they lost 2-4 against the Oilers), it was a win for Zeus who will be getting a new toy soon!
