Dan Frawley (ice hockey)
William Daniel Frawley (born: Stugeon Falls, Ontario, 2 June 1962). During his junior hockey years, Frawley played for the Sudbury Wolves and the Cornwall Royals of the OHA, before being drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks, 204th overall in 1980. Frawley spent most of the next two years playing in the AHL.
NHL career
He played with the Blackhawks during the 1984-85 season (his NHL rookie season). On the 7 October 1985, Frawley was picked up off waivers by the Pittsburgh Penguins, the team he'd spent the next four years (the rest of his NHL career) with. His apparent leadership on the Penguins, was recognized with his appointment as team captain in October 1987, a role he would hand over to Mario Lemieux two month later, because of an injury that was keeping him out of the lineup.
Return to the minors
In 1989 Frawley returned to the AHL, retiring in 1993. However he came out of retirement in 1994 and played two more years, with the Rochester Americans of the AHL, wining the 1996 Calder Cup. He retired from professional hockey a second time in 1996.
