In a move that comes as little surprise to anyone following the minor hockey and junior hockey circuits, Max Domi was selected 8th overall by the Kingston Frontenacs in the 2011Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection Draft.
It was not long ago that the Domi family announced that Max was going to take the NCAA route and thus skipping the Ontario Hockey League in his journey to advance his career to the highest level.
Some bought into the notion that the Domi's were set on joining the University of Michigan after spending time toiling in the USHL, but the move made by Domi and his family is nothing new to those who are able to express their preferences of places to play, such is the case with the talented minor midget forward from the Don Mills Flyers.
Rumours persisted that Domi would either land in Kingston to hone his skills under the guidance of his father's former teammate, Doug Gilmour or perhaps go west to London and join the Hunter's junior hockey factory. In the end Gilmour was able to land a Domi and likely one of the most talented players available in today's draft.
