Max Domi is like his father in that he knows how to use his hands. He just uses them a bit differently.

Domi's dad, Tie, usually had his hands balled up as fists as he fought his way through the NHL for more than 1,000 games with Toronto, New York and Winnipeg.

Max was born in Winnipeg in 1995.

In Tie's best offensive season, he scored 15 goals and 14 assists in 79 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2002-03.

Max, 20, uses his hands for offense, already surpassing his dad's highest point total in his first 42 NHL games, scoring 13 goals and 18 assists.
