Max Domi
Max Domi was selected 12th overall by the Phoenix Coyotes in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Domi’s career in the NHL began with the Arizona Coyotes (previously Phoenix), where he quickly made a name for himself. He scored his first NHL goal and assist in his debut against the Kings in 2015 and achieved his first career NHL hat trick in 2016 against the Oilers.
Domi’s journey in the NHL has seen him play for several teams. After the Coyotes, he was traded to the Canadiens in 2018. In Montreal, he achieved a significant milestone by scoring 72 points in the 2018-19 season, the first Canadiens player to do so since 2009-10.
In 2020, Domi moved to the Columbus Blue Jackets, followed by a trade to the Carolina Hurricanes in 2022. Domi then signed with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2022 and was traded to the Dallas Stars in 2023. As of July 2023, Domi joined the Toronto Maple Leafs on a one-year contract.
Matt Duchene
Matt Duchene, drafted third overall by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, quickly established himself as a skilled and versatile forward in the league. His time with the Avalanche was marked by consistent scoring prowess and the ability to play effectively as both a center and a winger.
Duchene’s NHL journey saw him moving from the Avalanche to the Ottawa Senators in a multi-team trade during the 2017-2018 season, followed by a brief tenure with the Columbus Blue Jackets during the 2018-2019 season. He later signed as a free agent with the Nashville Predators, and is currently (as of Nov 2023) with the Dallas Stars.
Internationally, Duchene has represented Canada in the World Junior Championships, World Championships, and the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, where he was part of the gold medal-winning team. His offensive abilities have not only earned him selections to NHL All-Star Games but have also consistently placed him among the top point producers on his teams.
