Dominic Toninato's story
Raised in Duluth, Minnesota, Toninato finished his prep career wearing the captain's sweater for Duluth East, posting 61 points in 25 games as a senior and helping the program return to the Minnesota State Class AA Tournament. He then moved into the USHL with the Fargo Force, the club that had selected him in the 2011 USHL Entry Draft, and emerged as a two-way contributor who began to draw pro interest.
Selected 126th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2012, Toninato opted to develop at the collegiate level and committed to the University of Minnesota–Duluth. Over four seasons with the Bulldogs he matured steadily: a useful freshman season, increased scoring as a sophomore, a slight dip in production as a junior, and finally returning as senior captain while finishing with strong plus/minus numbers and leading the club in several categories.
Left unsigned by Toronto because of contract limits, Toninato entered free agency and signed a two-year entry-level deal with the Colorado Avalanche in August 2017. He began pro life in the AHL with San Antonio, earned recalls to Colorado and made his NHL debut in November 2017. His first NHL goal came in February 2019. Colorado traded him to Florida in June 2019 for Jacob MacDonald; he played a depth centre role with the Panthers and their AHL affiliate before Winnipeg signed him in October 2020. After five seasons in the Jets organization, Toninato agreed to a two-year, two-way contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 1, 2025.
Individual recognition includes a spot on the USHL Second All-Star Team in 2012–13 and being named the NCHC's top defensive forward in 2016–17, the same season UMD captured the conference title and advanced to the NCAA championship game. While at UMD he studied Human Resources Management.
On the ice, Toninato is defined by his two-way game: a dependable centre who takes on defensive assignments, brings physicality and positional discipline, and chips in offensively when the opportunity arises.
