Daryl Reaugh's Hockey Journey
Playing as a Goalie
Daryl Reaugh started his hockey journey playing for the Kamloops Blazers in the Western Hockey League (WHL). He was such a good goalie that he was named an All-Star! The Edmonton Oilers picked him in the 1984 NHL Draft as the 42nd player chosen.
He played 7 games with the Oilers. Even though he didn't play many games, he was part of the 1988 Edmonton Oilers team that won the Stanley Cup. He even has a Stanley Cup ring! His name isn't on the Cup because he only played 6 games that season, and players usually need to play more to get their name engraved.
In 1990, Daryl joined the Hartford Whalers. He played over 1000 minutes for them, with 7 wins, 7 losses, and 1 tie. His season was cut short when he got a serious hand injury while playing. Another player's skate accidentally cut his glove and hand. Later, a hamstring injury ended his promising career at just 28 years old in 1993.

From the 2011–12 NHL season, Daryl also started broadcasting Western Conference games for Hockey Night in Canada.
After the 2014-15 season, Ralph Strangis left the Stars. Dave Strader took his place. Sadly, Dave became ill and passed away in 2017. Daryl then partnered with former Stars defenseman Craig Ludwig.
