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.

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.

Future

He will continue to guide the Sea Dogs through their expansion years.
