Danny has been a DAWG his entire adult life and has been lacin’ em up for the black, red, and white since age 17. He’s played several DAWG teams and may be the most enthusiastic player in DAWG’s history. No matter what team he plays on, Danny shows up every night ready to play. He skates every shift as if it was his last, and you would have to look very hard to find a better teammate.
In 2009, Danny found a cyst under his chin, and when it was removed, doctors discovered that he had thyroid cancer. Though highly treatable, he has had to undergo four procedures, including removing the thyroid and many of his lymph nodes. In 2010, he was even injected with radioactive material, a unique thyroid treatment that kills the tumor without poisoning the rest of his body. He had to be quarantined for a lengthy period but never gave up hope that the radioactivity might turn him into some kind of superhero.
Now a loving husband, father of four and a business owner, Danny enjoys life to it’s fullest. Through his entire ordeal, he knew that he could always count on the members of DAWG Nation to help him through the tough times.
