He didn't do the easiest job, but he found a way to do it. He played a long and successful career in the NHL. On and off the ice, he's a first-class guy. "He's a big reason for me being what I am today. It's been a roller-coaster but it's helped a lot." I've gotten to be around some pretty cool people along the way. Obviously some guys are going to kind of go after you a little bit more but in the end, like I said, you can't really change that. It's part of who I am and I can't change who my Dad is, obviously. Is it tough having Domi as a last name, he was asked. The younger Domi is just as poised off the ice, handling questions about his famous father with ease. The five-foot-nine, 197-pound forward can also play provider as he showed in the Memorial Cup, feathering a pass between his legs to set up Bo Horvat (who went ninth overall Sunday to Vancouver). And he's like Brett Hull, he's smart, he knows how to get open and he's ready to take the shot." It doesn't influence or impact his game one way or another. "He's not the biggest guy, but he certainly plays bigger than his size. A lot of players can get chances from their abilities and their smarts but can they finish? Max can finish. And that can separate him from a lot of players. "A natural goal-scorer, everywhere he's been," said Dan Marr, director of NHL Central Scouting. In contrast, Max tied for eighth in regular-season scoring with 87 points (39 goals and 48 assists) and was a plus-33 in 64 games this season for the London Knights. He finished with 104 goals, 141 assists and 3,515 penalty minutes in 1,020 NHL games. In 1994, he returned to Toronto where he spent his last 11 seasons as a Maple Leaf. He played two games for the Leafs before spending six seasons with the Rangers and Jets. Tie Domi was a second-round pick of Toronto's, going 27th overall in 1988.
He had a long, successful career in the NHL and he wants nothing less for me." "He was pretty pumped," Max said of his father's reaction to going in the first round. His offensive creativity convinced the Phoenix Coyotes to take the 18-year-old from Toronto 12th overall in Sunday's NHL draft. The son of former Maple Leafs enforcer Tie Domi, Max uses his hands to score or set up goals rather than administer justice. Max Domi is his own man on the ice, however, He looks like a chip off the old block.
