Jacob Trouba presents longtime fan and Sandy Hook survivor, with scholarship

One hockey-loving teenager is well on his way to a future law degree, thanks in part to one of his favorite players.

After the Rangers completed their regular season with a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday night at the Garden, captain Jacob Trouba gave the jersey off his back — and signed it — to beaming 18-year-old Isaiah Márquez-Greene.

The Rangers’ veteran defenseman presented Márquez-Greene, a self-identified fan of the blueliner dating back to his days with the Winnipeg Jets, with the Garden of Dreams Inspire Scholarship, which will go toward paying for law school once he completes his undergraduate degree.

“I want an invitation for when you graduate law school,” Trouba tells Márquez-Greene after offering to exchange phone numbers, “and I’m gonna check in on you when you go to college next year.”

Márquez-Greene’s younger sister, Ana, was one of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting in Connecticut.

Their mother, Nelba, is a therapist working with grieving families, and she also operates The Ana Grace Project in her daughter’s honor.

Isaiah Márquez-Greene, a survivor of the tragic event in Newtown, Conn., is the starting goalie for Taft High School in Watertown, Conn., and is an academic standout who has been accepted at the University of Connecticut.

“I know your story. I feel for you,” Trouba told Márquez-Greene, who informed the former Jet he lived in in Winnipeg between the ages of 5 and 8. “You’re an amazing human.”

At UConn, Márquez-Greene will participate in the Special Program in Law, which automatically enrolls him in the school’s law program that accepts 10 percent of applicants.
