Max Domi

• In 2012-13, he led the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights and finished second overall in playoff scoring 32 points (11-21--32) in 21 games. Domi also tied for eighth in regular-season scoring with 87 points (39-48--87) in 64 games. In the 2012-13 OHL Western Conference Coaches Poll, he finished second in voting for Best Playmaker and Best Stickhandler.

• His highlight-reel between-the-legs saucer pass to set up teammate Bo Horvat for a goal during the 2013 Memorial Cup has garnered more than 80,000 views on YouTube. Domi has used Internet highlights similar to his own to develop his puck-handling skills: "We've kind of grown up in the whole YouTube generation, so you can watch guys like Pavel Datsyuk or Patrick Kane or Joe Sakic - the list goes on - for skill. If you take that onto the outdoor rink, you just practice it for hours and hours until you get it right. You dream about being able to do that in a game, so it's fun to have that in your back pocket."

• A Type-1 diabetic and celiac, he was inspired by the story of Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Clarke, who overcame the challenges of diabetes to play in the NHL. After his diagnosis in 2008, Domi changed from No. 13 to No. 16 in honor of Clarke.
