Chris DiDomenico will suit up for
Canada’s Spengler Cup team again this year, according to the international hockey website The Hockey House.
DiDomenico has been playing overseas
since the 2012-13 season. In his second full season with the SCL Tigers in
Switzerland, the 26-year-old forward leads the team in scoring with seven goals
and 20 assists in 27 National League A games.
The former Sea Dog played with Canada at
last year’s tournament as well where he was held pointless. Canada lost in the
semifinals.
DiDomenico also played with Team Canada
at the 2009 world juniors, helping the team win gold in Ottawa.
A native of Woodbridge, ON, DiDomenico
spent two-and-a-half seasons with the Sea Dogs from 2007-2009. According to Elite Prospects, he is fifth all-time in franchise scoring with 75 goals and
204 points in 166 games.
DiDomenico is arguably the most
important player in Sea Dogs history. Not only was he the team’s first big
offensive star, he was also traded to the Drummondville Voltigeurs in the deal
that saw Saint John acquire the pick used to draft Jonathan Huberdeau.
Canada’s first game of the 2015 Spengler Cup is
on Boxing Day at 3 p.m. against Yekaterinburg. TSN will be broadcasting the entire tournament.
