Max Domi makes life-changing announcement on Sunday.

In spite of the fact that he currently plays for a team that many fans around the National Hockey League like to root against, there was a huge outpouring of love and support for Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi earlier this summer when reports emerged indicating that Domi was struggling to walk following back surgery. It was a sign of just how much respect the Domi name carries around the sport of hockey and how much respect Max himself has earned as a fierce competitor who has overcome a significant health challenge in diabetes and manages to play at the highest level of hockey.

On Sunday, we got a terrific sign that Domi may in fact be on the mend when he published an update to his Instagram account that makes it clear he is about to embark on the next chapter of his life. Although the caption simply reads "I love you so much" there's no question what the message represents given the image that accompanied it.

In the picture Domi's longtime girlfriend Estelle can be seen showing off a ring on her finger, and I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

As it turns out the proposal came on Estelle's birthday with Estelle making the announcement herself on her own Instagram page.

A veritable who's who of NHL players and sports figures have also come out to congratulate Domi on the big news.

Congratulations to both Max and Estelle on their new engagement.
