It only took nine years, eight months and 15 days, although Chris DiDomenico achieved every hockey player’s dream of playing in the NHL. Drafted by Toronto late in the 2007 draft, DiDomenico’s long and unconventional path to the NHL finally became a reality when he played his first game for the Ottawa Senators on March 9th, 2017. Now a month and a half into the regular season, it appears that the 28-year-old forward is here to stay.
His three goals and six points in twelve games is impressive for someone who’s only played fifteen career games.
