UNBELIEVABLE: Colorado Avalanche Centre and Alternate Captain Nathan MacKinnon Submits Resignation Letter to… See More

In a shocking twist that has sent shockwaves through the NHL and left Colorado Avalanche fans speechless, superstar centre and alternate captain Nathan MacKinnon has reportedly submitted his resignation letter — not to the Colorado Avalanche, but to something much more unexpected.

According to sources close to the situation, MacKinnon handed in his resignation to… “being serious all the time.”

Yes, you read that right.

After years of being known as one of the NHL’s most intense and disciplined players — famous for banning junk food in the locker room and reportedly chewing out teammates for subpar effort — MacKinnon has apparently had enough.

“I’m done,” MacKinnon allegedly wrote in a handwritten note found taped to the locker room Gatorade fridge. “I resign from being the team nutrition cop. From now on, pizza is back on the menu, boys.”

While initial social media panic assumed the superstar had requested a trade or planned to retire, it turns out MacKinnon simply wants to lighten up a bit after over a decade of giving 110% on and off the ice.

Teammates React

Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog, returning from injury, laughed off the development:

“Honestly, we knew something was up when Nate walked in with a bag of Sour Patch Kids and didn’t scowl at anyone. It was either an imposter or a breakthrough.”

Defenseman Cale Makar added:

“He actually smiled during practice. I thought I was hallucinating.”

The Real Story

A team spokesperson clarified that MacKinnon has not left the Avalanche, is not retiring, and remains fully committed to the team. The “resignation” was more symbolic — part of a team-building exercise meant to ease locker room pressure ahead of a tough back-to-back road trip.

In fact, sources say the team’s new motto — jokingly inspired by MacKinnon’s note — is now:

“Serious hockey. Silly snacks.”

What’s Next for MacKinnon?

Fans can rest easy. MacKinnon is still training like a beast, still laser-focused on bringing another Stanley Cup to Denver, and still skating faster than physics should allow. But maybe, just maybe, he’ll enjoy a gummy bear or two on the flight.
