Tie Domi appears to have been taking shooting lessons from his son.
The former Toronto Maple Leafs pugilist took part in Saturday's alumni game versus the Detroit Red Wings as part of the Centennial Classic celebration.
The tough customer's hands were on display, but not from throwing fists - rather, while firing a puck past Red Wings netminder Manny Legace.
Tie's son, Max Domi, a forward with the Arizona Coyotes, was quick to applaud his father's newfound offensive touch:
Never going to hear the end of that one. Nice shot though pops. #SkillGuy

Domi begin his career with the Maple Leafs in 1989, playing until 2006. His career also included a five-year run with the New York Rangers and time spent with the original Winnipeg Jets franchise. He finished his career with 1,020 games played and 104 goals.
Wendel Clark and Darcy Tucker also scored for the Maple Leafs on Saturday, while Nicklas Lidstrom, Igor Larinov, and Brendan Shanahan replied for the Red Wings.
Forward Kris Draper then sealed the 4-3 Red Wings victory, beating Curtis Joseph with a slap shot late in the third.
