Although the four major North American sports leagues are vastly different in their rules, appearance, skillset, schedule, etc. Running at all different times from Vancouver to Utah, stretching every coast and time zone imaginable; one would think these players can't form any connections. On the contrary, you'll often see athletes from different sports hanging out, going to events, or even watching each other's games. It often leads to hilarious insights like these:
So what happens when you mix the most popular and well-known franchise in all of Canada with the greatest quarterback of all time? You get interactions like this:
Friend of Max Domi and former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady decided to chime in on Domi's Instagram video hyping up the 2024-2025 Toronto Maple Leafs season. This echoes Brady's earlier comments when Domi re-signed this summer with the Maple Leafs, showing he was all in on the club even before the start of the season:
It's a massive endorsement for not only the Maple Leafs but also for Domi, who has become one of the stars of the team, which led them to re-signing him this summer as eluded to with Brady's excitement. Domi scored 9 goals and 38 assists last season but is perfectly capable of putting the puck in the net having a career-high 28 with the Canadiens in 2018-2019, and will find lots of ice time under Craig Berube given he fits the coach's game plan.
It's a very interesting mash-up of football and hockey, two sports that could not be more different but bring together the best of both worlds. With Tom Brady and his 6 Super Bowl Rings, 89,214 yards, and unwavering confidence in the Maple Leafs and Domi, you couldn't ask for better support.
