Tie Domi

Tie Domi (born November 1 1969 in Windsor, Ontario) is an ice hockey player currently with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He is known as an enforcer and a fighter who has more penalty minutes than any other player in Leaf history.

His career started with the New York Rangers in 1990. In 1992, he was traded to the Winnipeg Jets where he earned some of his stripes as an NHL tough guy and was named a fan favourite in 1994. When traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, he soon became a fan favorite for his crunching bodychecks and powerful fistfights. Liked by Don Cherry, Tie often takes on the toughest players in the NHL, his list of people he has fought includes the likes of Bob Probert and Peter Worell. In the 2001-02 season Tie is well remembered for the Philadelphia incident where a Philadelphia Flyers fan jumped into the penalty to try to fight Tie for spraying another heckler with his water bottle, the fan who jumped into the box was not only pinned by Domi, but also took a few light punches from him.

Domi's brother, Dash Domi, has been in the Canadian news in recent months, as the lead salesman for MFP Financial Services in the government contracts which led to the Toronto Computer Leasing Inquiry. Tie Domi has testified at the inquiry on his brother's behalf.
