Éric Dazé Facts

Drafted: 1993 round 4 #90 overall by Chicago Blackhawks

Daze ran into severe back problems during his career, which limited him to only 19 games in the 2003–04 NHL season. Even after three herniated disc surgeries in a five-year span, pain was still a problem in Daze's back when he attempted to return to the Blackhawks in 2005. He quietly left professional hockey after playing a single period in the season opener for the Blackhawks that season. On March 20, 2010, Daze officially announced his retirement on the Comcast Sportsnet pregame show before the Hawks game. (Wikipedia)
