Darren Raddysh's story
Growing up around Toronto with a younger brother who would also make the NHL, Darren Raddysh spent hours honing skating and shooting with rollerblades his father bought, a habit that carried him from neighbourhood rinks to organized minor hockey with the Toronto Marlboros and a 2009 Silver Stick title in Michigan.
Selected 84th overall by the Erie Otters, Raddysh moved through junior ranks that included a short stint in the OJHL and his initial OHL appearances in 2012-13. His final junior season was decisive: he set franchise marks for points by a defenceman both in a career and in a single year, helped Erie capture the J. Ross Robertson Cup and reached the 2017 Memorial Cup, earning Max Kaminsky and Leo Lalonde trophies as well as a spot on the Memorial Cup all-star team.
Turning pro in June 2017, he signed with the Rockford IceHogs and scored his first professional goal that October. A two-year NHL contract with the Chicago Blackhawks followed in May 2018, and in February 2019 he was traded to the New York Rangers for Peter Holland, continuing in the AHL with Hartford. He attended multiple NHL training camps and was part of the Rangers’ Phase 3 training roster in July 2020. On 28 July 2021 he agreed to terms with the Tampa Bay Lightning and made his NHL debut on 30 December 2021 against Florida.
Over the next seasons his role expanded. He played full regular seasons for Tampa Bay and produced increasing offensive totals, culminating in 2025-26 when he recorded 22 goals and 48 assists for 70 points, set the franchise single-season goals record for a defenceman and registered his first NHL hat trick on 3 January 2026 versus San Jose. On 19 June 2026 he was moved to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a sign-and-trade after agreeing to an eight-year deal.
Raddysh’s game is defined by an ability to drive offence from the blue line while logging significant minutes; his development shows a pattern of steady improvement that turned into a late-career offensive breakout at the NHL level.
