One Of Hockey's Dirtiest Players Was Also One Of The Greatest Goal Scorers The NHL Has Ever Seen....

In hockey some players stand out as figures both revered and reviled. Renowned for their mastery in unsettling opponents, they earn a reputation as notorious "shift disturbers". Brad Marchand, Corey Perry and Tom Wilson, however none of these guys were as dirty and as skilled as the player in today's video boys
beneath this players levels of controversy there was a skillful artisan of the game, whose prowess as a goal scorer remains unmatched, despite only really being remembered for the dirty plays and handful of off ice antics he made along the way he was a hellova goal scorer. Despite polarizing opinions, this individual commanded a level of respect few could deny, owing not solely to his ability to provoke, but also to his undeniable talent on the ice.in todays video boys were gonna dive into the intriguing dichotomy of Dino Ciccarelli, portraying him as one of hockey's most enigmatic and multifaceted personalities.

[@migjager7352]

I am one of those people who grew up in London but never cheered for a Toronto sports franchise- it was always the Red Wings and the Tigers. I remember Dino playing for the Knights and thought that it was cool when he began his NHL career in the same colours- I was a kid at the time. As a Wings fan, it was great to see him parked in front of the net like it was his office, taking a beating but always managing to generate a goal or enough chaos to make sure someone else got one. The guy was like a honey badger out there. It really is too bad that a player who put so much sweat and blood into the team did not get to win a Stanley Cup with Detroit. Thanks for the video!

[@briangeary7684]

Dino played the only way a smaller guy with an attitude could in those days. He is the only player’s jersey signed in my basement, framed and hanging. He was a tough SOB who never backed down and my favorite all time player. If I could have played at that level, he was the one player I would have emulated. Great skills, compete, hands and a nightmare for the opposition. I miss the Al Secord days with the Hawks. Thank you Dino 🦖!!

[@donlarson1907]

I grew up playing hockey in MN. Our tv broke In '79. Dad finally got us new one when the North Stars made the finals in '81. Still waiting for a cup.

I lost count of how many modern day suspensions and fines I saw in this video.

[@markdaire4708]

As a North Star fan, I loved Dino. He was a force to be feared, but off the ice, I will never forget meeting him at Davanni's in Minnetonka where I took his order for a hoagie. I was in high school and he was standing there. I took his order and then asked for his autograph on a Davanni's napkin. It was a rush for me to say into the speaker: "Dino, your hoagie is ready". A true hockey player to say the least.

[@djfglobal3377]

That is fantastic! What a cool memory

[@Mustang_Dan]

My uncle used to golf with Dino when he was with Detroit and he got me this big 8.5x11” picture of Dino and he signed it addressed to me personally. I was like 5 and I was amazed. I still have it to this day and I’m 34 lol.

[@tonyhill1141]

That’s awesome!

Dino is great guy I met him.

[@ChrisJohnson-fv5nt]

Thanks for that trip into the memory banks! I remember seeing Dino’s very first game at Met Center with my Pop. His energy and hustle was unmistakeable, and it was pretty clear that he was a special player, which he proved for many glorious years with the Minnesota North Stars (and others). Good times!

[@Based_D]

Great video, he's is one of my all time favorites! I wanted to be him when I was a kid starting hockey in Minnesota

[@chopperchopper1418]

My favorite sister Nancy was suffering from MS that later took her life at 41, it hit her 6 months after becoming a RN. I took her to see the North Stars hoping it would help. She forgot she had MS and fell in love with Dino, her happiness in saying yes was premeditated before i could even ask if she wanted to go. Thank you Dino and the fans that gave my sister so much joy. ❤️‍🩹

[@brianlee3719]

When he was exposing himself, he was asked if he wanted to be traded. He said "No, I'll stick it out here."

[@TheBillaro]

i was up in the greys with my grandad from England who came to canada to see us an experience hockey. he was shocked to say the least! I saw that swing right before my eyes!

Literrally my favorite all time player...you get a sub just for puuting this video out. 👍

[@wanderer85295]

I was a kid when he came into the league with the stars. He lived near by and he would open up his garage door and hit autographed offical Nstars pucks out to us Sometimes he would do so wearing nothing but his jock strap. Im pretty sure that it was one of those occassions that got him i. Trouble . And no it wasnt him being a perv. It was summer time and most of us were wearing shorts and either a t shirt or no shirt . Plus im pretty sure he was drinking . Doesnt matter he was just giving a bunch of kids autographed hockey pucks that we all cherrished . Wish i still had one of them honestly . Either way he was an incredible player and truly a good guy with a bad rep.

[@silyrabittrxr4kids5]

Dino was my favorite N.S. growing up. It was not uncommon for him to have 30 goal seasons.

[@MGAF688]

Or 40 or 50. 7 40 goal seasons. 2 of them exceeded 50.

[@DJC1916]

I loved Dino growing up. What a time that was. Watching and going to North Stars games and UMD games with Hull. Was a good time in the Twin Ports back then.

[@nickphillips1721]

Lifelong Wings fan. Dino is my all-time favorite player. I tried to play like him. He deserved the cup the next year. He pissed of Scotty B. and was traded. Because he went "after" claude lemieux in the parking lot at their bus after the game. Mr. Lindsay told me that. R.I.P.

[@jodygoar7071]

Dino was excellent, a great scorer, fan favorite, and he actually drew a huge number of penalties with his constant battling style.

[@fratzogmopars]

Saw Dino play quite a few times at the old Chicago Stadium. Oh yes he was hated, so much so that people hung “DINO SUCKS” banners from the railings, and the whole crowd would chant “DINO SUCKS.”If you know the old stadium, the chant would be deafening.

[@aaronpetzel4645]

Funny, they did the same thing for Secord at the Met Center

[@fratzogmopars]

@@aaronpetzel4645 Settle down there Nancy, I was just relating a story about Cicerreli, no need to get all defensive. I went to see the Hawks play up in Minnesota a few times in the early eighties, the Met seemed calm, fans were cool to us.

[@aaronpetzel4645]

I was being sincere, and it is funny that they chanted at Dino, I did not know that as I didn’t attend Chicago home games. Just two rival crowds getting on the other teams best (or better) players and I was letting you know that Mn. did the same for Secord. Never Savard. Probably more so in the playoffs.

[@fratzogmopars]

@@aaronpetzel4645 .Sorry pretzel, I missed the sincerity in your comment, I guess I’m the one who needs to settle down. One thing I’ll never understand is why the North Stars left Minnesota. Hockey is so big up there. When we did road trips that way in early 80’s we were amazed that when turning on the tv in the hotel room to see the news, most everything on television was about high school or college hockey even though the Stars were home playing the Hawks, you guys are just nuts about hockey up there compared to Chicago. Even though we were all Hawks fans in my neighborhood back in the early 70’s there was only one kid who had a Hawks jersey, everyone had something different, I had a North Stars jersey.

[@aaronpetzel4645]

No worries man, I could have put my comment in context. The owner/ owners of the Stars kind of neglected them, though they were still doing well and had a cup run. I think they saw the money in the move and were out to a shiny new home and the additional money it would bring. They sorta blamed it on fan support and maybe there were arena demands that were not met. Kinda shady, people felt betrayed.

[@bochafish]

Love Dino, and was my guy in NHL 92. I scored his number against my friend (22). Was perfect for that era.

[@daleschmieg9050]

I only made it to one North Stars game. When I was in high school, my brother took me to a game on New Years Eve. I believe it was Dino's last year in Minnesota, and he produced a hat trick that night. Sure made for a party atmosphere, and a game I will never forget.

[@migmadmarine]

My mother lived next door to him for about a year. Said he was a loud drunk😮

One of Mr. Ciccarelli's moments I remember was when he was "arrested" for walking around outside of his house without any pants on eventually the justice system let him know he can only be a naturalist inside of his home One of my favorite players from the 80s, two time 50 goal scorer for the Stars, played on some very good Capitals teams, and after playing four good seasons in Detroit, he did play one last full very good season for Tampa Bay before it was over for Dino, and of course three almost five seasons of over one hundred PIMs. I appreciate the Minnesota Wild, but I do miss the Minnesota North Stars.

[@617SHORTS]

I promise you Dino was not more skilled than Brad Marchand Corey Perry or Tom Wilson. You have to take into account how easy it was to score goals in that era. There’s 10 guys maybe that transcend that era difference in the NHL. All of them have multiple seasons with scoring stats that exceed a Conor Mcdavid MVP season today. If a players scoring stats from the 70-80s doesn’t exceed the stats of todays top players, the truth is, they probably wouldn’t be able to play in todays NHL. Evolution is fast when player development and youth training becomes completely dialed in scientifically to help a young player improve. They did none of that in that era and they also didn’t have access to a lot of foreign talent. Resources and Politics kept some Ovechkin level 70s talent, in Russia their whole career. If they didn’t play at all in the mid nineties or later, scale those scoring metrics. Good video though.

[@sid7088]

You're absolutely wrong and the difference between the eras is highly exaggerated. No you couldn't pull off a "Michigan" back then because you'd get your head beat in for trying to be a hot dog.

[@aaronpysher9354]

Plus all the holding and interference, the two line pass the stick work and the fact you had one official trying watch it all. Almost impossible to compare the two eras but you are correct that today’s game is faster more wide open and a bigger talent pool.

[@darrellhiggins9790]

Where in that video were they comparing him to anyone playing today?The only people making those comparisons are too young to have watched the older stars of the game

[@sergiocalcio9481]

Dumb comment . Dino’s era was was ten fold in the level of brute physicality and force . Yeah you could argue that goaltending back then wasn’t the quality it is today , but then also remind yourself goaltenders back then wore much smaller equipment and generally were of smaller stature . Darren Pang , Andy Moog , Grant Fuhr , Pete Peeters , etc come to mind . Everything is relative my friend. If you could score during this era of serial killer NHL then you could sure as hell still score during this era of the fem boy Nancy boy privileged youth player NHL . Please stop. The majority of guys who made the NHL back then , DID NOT , come from privilege and it showed on the ice. The exact opposite is true today and sadly it does show . Playing during this era you best remind yourself , every time you touched the puck , to keep your head up . For if you forget for one second then another player was going to quickly do the reminding for you and you can bet the ref wasn’t gonna call it anyway - very much unlike today where the ref puts his hand up left and right . Half of these “ skill guys “ today for all we know may have been just be too damn scared to pull off the antics that they do today back then . Tom Wilson in all of skill , size and toughness still doesn’t hold a candle to the likes of “ Bam Bam “ Cam Neely ( one of few players to join the list of guys to score 50 goals in 50 games with Neely doing so in 49 in the 1993 - 1994 season ) who ironically was one of those same players who suffered the consequences of that level of physicality when he had his career cut short playing in the league during this time. Neely would have easily joined the 600 goal club , sheet maybe even the 700 goal club , if the length of his career wasn’t hampered by injuries and then finally his career was eventually cut way too short due to those lagging injuries . The Guy almost put up 400 goals despite all this and the NHL and his colleagues rightly recognized as much which is exactly why he was still elected in the Hall of Fame. Don’t mess with Sea Bass and old school hockey . He will spit in your burger and make you eat it for talking such smack .

There is also other testimony to suggest she was a willing participant, regardless of any evidence of sexual activity, and that she was more than likely looking for a pay day after the fact in being more than , what’s the word , ya yes “ consensual “ to the very act itself. Which is exactly why the incident went away rather fast , because the trio probably coughed up some money and it all went away . Both parties in the end - got what they wanted it seems.
