Type 1 Diabetic Max Domi Decides to Join Canadiens in Restart

Canadiens center Max Domi has opted to join the team in the NHL's restart after talking with doctors about the risks associated with his Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.

Domi took the first week of training camp off to decide on his participation. The 25-year-old wanted to ensure he'd be safe in the controlled environment since he's among those in a higher risk category if they contract the coronavirus. After receiving assurances from doctors and the Canadiens, Domi joined his teammates on the ice Monday and Tuesday.

"We're in uncharted territories, right? So nobody really knows what to expect," Domi said, per ESPN.
