Heartbreaking News Hits Max Domi and His Family: Will Not Be Skating With Maple Leafs Today

Max Domi is a key piece of the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup, as the veteran forward has the ability to play down the middle as the 3C or on the wing of any other line throughout the Maple Leafs lineup.

Tragically, his pre-season has now been significantly interrupted after a recent announcement from the organization, just moments after Joseph Woll was revealed to be taking a leave of absence due to a family matter.

According to the team, Max Domi will miss a few days as he departs the team to mourn the passing of his grandfather, with the funeral set for Tuesday.

While hockey and preparing for the upcoming season is important, nothing is more important than family, and the duo of Craig Berube/Brad Treliving clearly see that, as Domi will be given all the time he needs to mourn with his family before returning to the team ahead of the 2025/26 regular season.

At a time like this, the hope is that Domi simply takes his time away and forgets about hockey for a few days, with the veteran getting the opportunity to grieve and take as much time away from the team as he needs.

It's unclear as of right now when he'll be back, with the regular season home opener set for October 8th, but it's highly likely that it will be just a few days away for the veteran forward, a player that is always ready to go when the season begins, so despite his absence, he'll no doubt be back in time for the regular season.
