Maple Leafs forward Max Domi to miss start of training camp
Summary

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi will miss the start of training camp following offseason surgery. General manager John Chayka confirmed on September 11 that Domi is currently out indefinitely due to an ailment that required a procedure in late May. While the team has not disclosed specific details regarding the surgery, reports indicate the veteran forward may be recovering from a back issue. Domi, who signed a four-year, $15 million extension last year, recorded 12 goals and 36 points across 80 games during the 2025-26 season. The organization is now weighing internal options for the third-line center position in his absence, with Colton Sissons, Teddy Blueger, and Dakota Joshua emerging as potential candidates to fill the role. Domi intends to provide further clarity on his condition at a future date.
