"I'm just absolutely thrilled to represent that jersey and represent that group of fans and that city," Domi said the day after the trade. "It's a huge honor and it's something that I'm really, really excited about."

Domi brings energy and speed to the Canadiens, and no one was happier than Domi himself when he was traded to Montreal from the Arizona Coyotes on June 15, 2018 for forward Alex Galchenyuk.

He led the Canadiens in points (72) and assists (44) in his first season in Montreal.

Domi was selected by the Coyotes with the No. 12 pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, and it didn't take him long to make his mark in the League. In 2015-16, his first NHL season, Domi finished second on the Coyotes with 52 points and tied with Oliver Ekman-Larsson for the most assists (34).

The son of longtime NHL tough guy Tie Domi, he had his first NHL goal and assist in his League debut, a 4-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings on Oct. 9, 2015. On Jan. 12, 2016, Domi had his first NHL hat trick, in a 4-3 win against the Edmonton Oilers. He had five multigoal games and 12 multipoint games.

In juniors with London of the Ontario Hockey League, Domi finished ninth in the league in scoring in 2014-15 with 102 points in 57 games. He won the Mickey Renaud Captain's Trophy, awarded to the OHL captain who best exemplifies leadership on and off the ice.

As in 2014-15, Domi led London in scoring the previous two seasons with 93 and 87 points, respectively, the latter figure placing him ninth in the league in 2012-13. That season he also finished second in OHL playoff scoring with 32 points in 21 games as London won the league title.

Domi also helped London win the OHL championship in his first season, 2011-12, when he was named to the league's Second All-Rookie team.

Domi also has had success playing for Canada, including winning gold medals at the 2012 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup and the 2015 World Junior Championship, where he was named the tournament's top forward after scoring five goals and 10 points with a plus-10 rating in seven games.

Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 12, Domi has employed a diabetic-alert service dog to help him monitor his blood-sugar levels.
