Toronto Maple Leafs’ Max Domi and Mitch Marner duke it out at Hockey Night in Brampton

Teammates will become opponents for one night only when Maple Leafs’ stars Max Domi and Mitch Marner square off for Hockey Night in Brampton.

Domi is the latest NHLer and Maple Leaf to join the charity fundraiser hockey game roster and joins Marner for the all-star match-up. But the two Leafs will be captaining different teams when the puck drops at Brampton’s CAA Centre later this month.

“This highly anticipated face-off between Team Domi and Team Marner promises to be one of the highlights of the event, bringing an extra level of excitement to an already star-studded game,” the city said of Domi’s addition to the game, which will help raise funds for Brampton’s William Osler Health System.

Son of longtime Maple Leafs defenseman and enforcer Tie Domi, Max has played for several teams since making his NHL debut including with the Montreal Canadiens and the Arizona Coyotes before being signed as a free agent to Toronto in 2023.

The third-annual Hockey Night in Brampton event is less than two weeks away and will see Maple Leaf veterans Wendel Clark and Doug Gilmore return to coach Team Domi and Team Marner along with former and current NHLers and Olympic Gold Medalists duking it out for a good cause.

Members of the newly-landed Brampton Steelheads will also take to the ice for this year’s Hockey Night in Brampton game following their move from Mississauga, including Steelheads goaltenders Jack Ivankovic and Ryerson Leenders.

Hockey Night in Brampton was launched by Mayor Patrick Brown in 2019 and has since raised over $1.4 million for the Osler Foundation with $1 million going towards the new Peel Memorial Hospital and over $400,000 supporting cardiac care. ​

Last year’s event raised a record-breaking $1 million for the William Osler Health System’s upgrade of Peel Memorial and another $1 million for the John Tavares Foundation, and this year the city says it hopes to break that record and raise even more funds.

Hockey Night in Brampton returns to the CAA Centre on Aug. 21. For more information, to buy tickets or to find out about sponsorship opportunities visit www.hockeynightbrampton.ca.
