There’s few players that hockey fans love more than a junkyard dog type, a ferocious animal on the ice who plays with some snarl. Fortunately for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ryan Reaves and Max Domi got a firsthand experience on how a Dogg does their thing when the two met up with hip hop legend Snoop Dogg on Wednesday night.
The two forwards were in attendance at Scotiabank Arena for the rapper’s Toronto leg of his Cali to Canada tour which will see Snoop Dogg also make stops in London, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver over the next two weeks. 
Ryan Reaves <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C8KmpepxDTo/?hl=en">posted a photo</a> to Instagram showcasing Snoop Dogg wearing #75 jersey with Max Domi hardly able to contain his smile on Snoop’s other side. Reaves was recently announced as one of the enforcers featured in the new <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C7vIFXrxkev/">Death Row Hockey collab</a>, a new clothing drop from Snoop Dogg’s Death Row records that also features past and present heavyweights such as Georges Laraque and Arber Xhekaj.
Though neither Max nor his enforcer father Tie Domi have been announced as part of the collaboration, one has to wonder if there will be a second release of Death Row Hockey Merch announced once Domi signs an extension with Toronto. Though no official deal has been reached, a number of reports have already come out stating that there is mutual interest between the Maple Leafs and Domi’s camp on extending the feisty forward following an impressive first season wearing the blue and white.
While Reaves and Domi (as well as every hockey fan in Toronto) likely wish they were spending this week competing for the Stanley Cup, getting to meet and collaborate with one of hip hop’s all time greats isn’t the worst consolation prize.
The only question that remains is whether Reaves and Domi will spend the offseason pushing for one of Snoop’s iconic tracks to be the new Maple Leafs goal song. It could spark just the sort of Junkyard Dogg energy Toronto needs after another first round exit.
