Christopher "Chris" DiDomenico (born February 20, 1989 in Woodbridge , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey player of Italian descent who has been under contract with the SCL Tigers of the National League since mid-2018 .

Career

DiDomenico first played from 2004 to 2006 with the North York Rangers in the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League and Greater Toronto Hockey League. For the 2006/07 season at the age of 17 he finally moved to the higher-class Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec to the Saint John Sea Dogs . In his rookie season , the striker scored 75 points in 70 games this season. His achievements led to his being selected in the sixth round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft in 164th place by the Toronto Maple Leafs . In the following season improved to 95 points scorer in as many games. The attacker spent the 2008/09 season with two teams. At the beginning of the season he continued to run for Saint John, before moving to league rivals Drummondville Voltigeurs shortly after the turn of the year . In exchange for him, Simon Giroux , Mathieu Gingras and two draft ballots in the LHJMQ Entry Draft went to Saint John.

Due to the change and especially the participation in the U20 Junior World Championship 2009 , DiDomenico only played 51 games, but was now under contract with by far the best team in the league. In addition, the Toronto Maple Leafs brought him in March 2009 - shortly after the end of the regular season in which he had scored 59 points - to sign an NHL entry-level contract with a three-year term. A little later he played with the Voltigeurs in the LHJMQ play-offs . In the third final game for the Coupe du Président against the Shawinigan Cataractes , DiDomenico was seriously injured when he was brought down by opponent Adam Bourque-Leblanc in a duel on the gang and he fell feet first into the same. He broke his left thigh bone and kneecap and was out for almost a year. Although the Voltigeurs won the championship in seven games and DiDomenico was the best assistent of the entire play-offs with 31 assists , he was unable to support his team in the 2009 Memorial Cup . It was only towards the end of the 2009/10 season that the center returned to play and played twelve games until the start of the playoffs, in which another 14 followed. In the last 26 games at junior level, he scored 43 points despite the long absence.

Before DiDomenico ran up in the professional field for the Maple Leafs franchise, they transferred him together with Viktor Stålberg and Philippe Paradis to the reigning Stanley Cup winner Chicago Blackhawks on June 30, 2010 , who in return received Kris Versteeg and the transfer rights to Bill Sweatt to Toronto taxes. In the Blackhawks, the striker initially failed to make the leap into the NHL squad and was therefore active in the 2010/11 season for their farm teams , the Rockford IceHogs in the American Hockey League and the Toledo Walleye in the ECHL . For Toledo he scored 25 points in 37 games and another four points in 25 games for Rockford. In the 2011/12 season he was still on the ice for both farm teams.

The jump to Europe followed in the summer of 2012. In the Italian A1 series , he initially signed with Asiago Hockey for a year . With the team from the Veneto region, he won the Italian championship in his debut season, with the Canadian being instrumental in winning the national championship title, especially in the final with 42 scorer points in 15 games, including eleven goals. In the following season, DiDomenico was again one of the most successful points collectors in the top Italian division; his 48 assists in 31 games represented a record, while the Canadian took second place in the league-wide scorer list. Only Brian Ihnacak was more successful , who played five more games and scored nine points more. In February 2014 he decided on a change to the SCL Tigers in the National League B . There he played until the end of February 2017 before he left the Tigers immediately after an offer from the Ottawa Senators from the NHL. The striker spent the remainder of the season there and the beginning of the following, before landing at the Tampa Bay Lightning via the waiver in November 2017 . Only a week later and after three games for the Syracuse Crunch in the AHL, the striker returned to the Canadian capital via the waiver.

In February 2018, DiDomenico was given to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Ville Pokka , so that the attacker returned to his previous employer.

International

DiDomenico represented his home country Canada only at the U20 Junior World Championship 2009 in the Canadian capital Ottawa . The Canadians won the gold medal after a 5-1 final victory over Sweden . The striker was used in all six tournament games of the maple leaves . He had a total of seven points scorer, including two goals. He scored both in the preliminary round.
