Daniel "Danny" Carcillo (born January 28, 1985) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey left winger. He most recently played under contract to the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). His on-ice reputation has led to him being nicknamed "Car Bomb."[1][2] Carcillo won a Stanley Cup as a member of the 2013 and 2015 Blackhawks. After retiring from the NHL in 2015, Carcillo created a non-profit organization that assists former NHL-players who are suffering from post-concussion syndrome and mental health issues.

Playing career
Drafted 73rd overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins, Carcillo was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for Georges Laraque on February 27, 2007. During the 2007–08 regular season, he had a League-high 324 penalty minutes. He scored his first career hat-trick on April 4, 2008.
He was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers on March 4, 2009, in exchange for Scottie Upshall and a 2011 second-round draft pick. Carcillo's first goal as a Flyer came in Game 4 of the first round of the 2009 Stanley Cup playoffs against Pittsburgh.
Carcillo, along with Shawn Thornton of the Boston Bruins, was a part of the first fight in an outdoor NHL game,[citation needed] in the Bridgestone 2010 NHL Winter Classic. On the NBC broadcast a day earlier, Carcillo told Mike Emrick and Ed Olczyk that he would be a part of the first Winter Classic fight. On April 18, 2010, Carcillo scored the game-winning goal in overtime against the New Jersey Devils, giving the Flyers a 2–1 series lead in the first round of the playoffs. He would also score two nights later in Game 4, giving him two playoff goals, a new career high. He would finish the playoffs with only the previously mentioned two goals and four assists, tripling his point total from the previous playoff year, when he had one goal (in Game 4) and one assist (on Arron Asham's Game 6-winning goal).
Carcillo signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 1, 2011.[3] Carcillo's 2011–12 season came to an early end on January 2, 2012, in a game between the Blackhawks and the Edmonton Oilers.[4] In that game, Carcillo was assessed a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for boarding and attempting to injure Oilers defenceman Tom Gilbert.[5] Both Carcillo and Gilbert were injured on the play, and Carcillo was suspended for seven games. Carcillo, however, also suffered a torn left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on the play, and was announced as out for the season on January 13 once his suspension ended, having surgery four days later.[6][7] On March 12, 2012, Carcillo signed a two-year contract extension with the Blackhawks through to the 2013–14 season.[8]
Carcillo was traded to the Los Angeles Kings on July 16, 2013, in exchange for a conditional sixth-round draft pick.[9] He was then traded to the New York Rangers on January 4, 2014, for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2014.[10] On May 23, 2014, Carcillo was automatically suspended ten games during the 2014 playoffs for using physical force against a linesman while being escorted to the penalty box.[11] On June 3, 2014, Carcillo's suspension on appeal was reduced from ten games to six by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.[12]
On September 4, 2014, the Pittsburgh Penguins signed Carcillo to a professional tryout contract in order to attend their 2014 training camp; he was later released.[13] [14] On October 3, 2014, Carcillo was added to the Chicago Blackhawks' training camp roster. He promptly agreed to a one-year, one-way contract at the League minimum of $550,000 for his second tenure with the club.
On January 16, 2015, Carcillo injured Mathieu Perreault while delivering a cross-check to his left arm and back after the play had been stopped.[15] Perreault left the game and is expected to miss at least one week. The NHL's Department of Player Safety issued Carcillo a six-game suspension and a fine of $40,243.92 for the hit. This marked Carcillo's 12th time being fined or suspended in his first nine seasons in the NHL.[16] Carcillo finished the season with four goals, four assists, and 54 penalty minutes. The Blackhawks won 2015 Stanley Cup. Though Carcillo did not make an appearance for the Blackhawks in the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs, his name was still engraved on the Stanley Cup.[17]
On September 17, 2015, Carcillo announced his retirement from professional hockey.[18][19]
Personal life
Carcillo was the host of a music-focused 2011 radio program entitled The Bomb Shelter on WGN Radio 720 in Chicago.[20]
Carcillo has admitted to battling alcohol and substance abuse problems throughout his professional career. Upon joining the Blackhawks, Carcillo became friends with Steve Montador, who was also trying to overcome a substance abuse problem. Montador helped Carcillo battle his alcohol and substance dependencies, but was forced to leave the NHL after sustaining a concussion in 2012. Carcillo remained friends with Montador until the latter's unexpected death in 2015. Montador's death deeply impacted Carcillo, who was also recovering from a concussion. He called for the NHL community to play a larger role in the lives of former players that have suffered concussions.[21][22] After winning the Stanley Cup in 2015, Carcillo retired from playing professional hockey and established the 'Chapter 5 Foundation', which is dedicating to helping players who are struggling with post-concussion syndrome, anxiety, or depression.[23]
