Canadiens' Max Domi kept first tattoo a secret from father Tie

“I was just trying to figure out how the heck can I tell my dad about this tattoo. And what I ended up doing was waiting until [the London Knights] played in Mississauga, which was closest to all my family, so like my cousins, my uncles, aunts, sisters, mom, dad, grandparents, everyone was there so there was too many people there to say hi to. And the bus was parked, and we usually have 10, 12, 13 minutes to talk to everyone before we leave, it’s a pretty firm deadline for leaving. Usually I would say hi to my dad first and he’d talk to me about the hockey game, and I made a pretty conscious effort to keep him for the last person. So I saw everyone and then all of a sudden I saw the guy, Bob-O, start pulling guys onto the bus, we had to leave. And as soon as I saw that I was like ‘Oh, hey dad, great game, like we won awesome, thanks.’ And as I’m walking away I’m like ‘Oh hey, by the way, I got a tattoo.’ And then I just looked at him and he kind of froze and was in shock and then I bolted on the bus. I remember looking out the window and he’s looking around and he’s freaking out.”
