For Dominic, the first season is rather scary, playing with a team you haven't met or played with, but was jumped into the season, having missed the draft and being picked up off of free agency by the Whalers. Dominic did fairly well for his rookie season in the SMJHL, on the 3rd line he amassed 25 points in 58 games. Definitely not an amazing rookie season like some of the others in his year, but Dominic was glad to just be apart of the team and run for the cup, which they won last year. He and the team entered the playoffs with determination, winning three games in a row before having them taken back. Dominic's first season was ended abruptly as Great Falls came back after the re-sim to win 4-3 in game 7. His first season wasn't the greatest, but still fairly promising for the Whalers rookie, and he will try harder to make a place for himself on the team in the following year.
