History
2006-07: The third-leading rookie scorer in the QMJHL – behind Jakub Voracek and David Perron – DiDomenico was a surprise for the expansion Saint John Sea Dogs from the get-go. The Toronto native went unselected in the OHL draft, but received a call from the Sea Dogs, who were desperately searching for talent, and never looked back. Playing a full 70-game slate, the feisty center scored 25 goals and added 50 assists for 75 points in his rookie season. On a team devoid of any scoring whatsoever – the next leading scorer had 53 points – this was quite a feat.
2007-08: In his second season with the Saint John Sea Dogs (QMJHL), DiDomenico saw his numbers improve over last season’s. In 70 games, he netted 39 goals and 56 assists, bringing his point total up to 95, 20 more than last season. He added an additional 19 points in 14 playoff games with the club. He was named Offensive Player of the Month after recording 12 points in six games with two game-winning goals and a +8 plus/minus rating. He was a member of the QMJHL Team at the 2007 ADT Canada-Russia Challenge.
2008-09: Signed a three-year contract with the Maple Leafs in March of 2009.
Talent Analysis
DiDomenico is on the small side at 5'11 and only 165 pounds but has overcome his size deficiencies so far with excellent hockey sense. Though his skating is only average, he is excellent on faceoffs and is a good penalty killer. If he is able to add muscle to his frame and continue to play a smart, two-way game he could surprise.
