Tie Domi announced he is retiring. Appearing to hold back his emotions, Domi said, "I couldn’t see myself wearing another jersey other than the blue and white."
Domi spent 16 seasons in the NHL, (11 with the Leafs) as one of the league's premier enforcers. With the new NHL concentrating more on speed and skill, the enforcer roll has almost become extinct, helping the Toronto Maple Leafs decide to buy out Domi's remaining season on his contract.
Domi is third all-time in penalty minutes with 3,515, only ranking behind Dave Williams (3,966) and Dale Hunter (3565). During the 2005/2006 season, Domi recorded his 100th goal and played in his 1000th NHL game.
Fans won't lose Domi entirely. With his playing career over, Domi has signed on with Canadian sport network TSN, where he will still be able to be involved with the sport he loves.
