Max Domi is one of the most beloved players in the NHL, but now the veteran has had to share some heartbreaking news on social media.
The Toronto Maple Leafs recently got some heartbreaking news on a key piece of their behind the scenes staff, and on social media, veteran forward Max Domi has expressed his heartbreak over the announcement. Domi revealed that Greg Harden, who has been the Maple Leafs peak performance coach has passed away, and he did so with a touching tribute to someone he obviously became very close too.
''Absolutely heartbroken. Going to miss you so much G. I'm praying for Brian, Victor, Olivia, Shelia and the rest of the Harden family.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world. You made the world a better place. Your ability to change the lives of everyone you came across is unparalleled.
You lit up every room you walked into. I'm going to miss our 2hr chats that felt like 10min, our dinners at steakhouses watching you order every appetizer on the menu because you don't eat meat, hearing stories of all the Hall of Fame people you had as students, you calling my ass out over anything and everything no matter what and always telling me straight.
We used to always talk about how our friendship feels like a life time and I'm going to miss telling you that. Coming down to spend the weekend with you a couple weeks ago will go down as one of the best experiences of my entire life. Watching how you interact with every single person we walked by. Seeing their faces light up and you instantly making their day the best day ever.
It was so cool to see because I knew the exact feeling and how good it felt to walk away from a conversation with you. Welcoming me into your home and showing me the museum of memories you have created for yourself with some remarkable people over your legendary career. I'm so grateful for our time together. You have taught me more than I could've imagined and will share that with as many people as I can.
I hope I can make you proud. You have my word that I will give 100%, 100% of the time.
I will be a proud Greg Harden student for the rest of my life.
'Defence wins championships. The value of a hard conversation is worth every bit of pain if it helps the team. It takes everyone. Physical, Mental, Emotional & Spiritual strength. You can't be a winner as a bunch of individual boys, you can only win when you decide to become a group of men that care more about the guy next to them or across from them than themselves.'
'50% mental, 50% intentional. It's all mental son. You gotta believe.' We got unfinished business, you know that. I can't wait to tell you all about it one day. See you on the other side G. Rest easy. Love you my brother''

This is the last thing that any family wants to hear, and given the outpouring of support, it's safe to say that Harden was a very popular member of staff in Toronto, and one that will be missed dearly.
We also send our condolences to Harden's family, friends, colleagues and anyone in the hockey world that he touched.
