Maple Leafs forward Max Domi expresses deep sorrow in touching social media post
The Toronto Maple Leafs recently mourned the loss of performance coach Greg Harden, whose mentorship deeply impacted many athletes.
One player particularly impacted by this loss is Max Domi, who shared a moving tribute on his Instagram page alongside images of the two together. Domi's words reflected Harden's enduring influence on his 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.''
On September 12th, the team officially announced Harden's passing, a loss also confirmed by the University of Michigan, where he mentored numerous athletes. Some of Harden's most famous mentees included Tom Brady, Michael Phelps, and Desmond Howard, all of whom shared their own tributes to Harden. The University of Michigan expressed their sadness through social media:
