Dan Carcillo retires from hockey, makes helping players his new mission

We've really seen the true Dan Carcillo in the last few months, and he's dedicating his post-hockey life to helping players transition from the game after retirement.

You might remember that former Flyer Dan Carcillo was in the news a few months back, when he spoke candidly and openly about his friend Steve Montador, the former NHLer who died in February. It was a side of Carcillo that we had rarely, if ever, seen before.

Carcillo spoke of Montador's personal struggles at the end of his life and how the NHL and NHLPA need to have a better "exit program" for players when they leave the game.
