Max Domi NHL-Bound Despite Diabetes

The younger Domi also ran into a number of his father’s friends, who are now working for N.H.L. teams, during the interviews.

“When you get the feedback on how he did in his interviews, I can’t even describe the feeling,” Tie Domi said. “What I can say is it was one of the most emotional, proud moments of my entire life — seeing my son cherish the sport that’s been so good to me and for our family. I think what he’s doing now, as a Type 1 diabetic — it’s tough to describe how to explain it, really.

“I think it’s important to really let people know. It can’t stop you from your dreams.”
