Darcy Robinson

Darcy Robinson (May 3, 1981 – September 27, 2007) was an Italian/Canadian professional ice hockey defenseman who was a former Pittsburgh Penguins draft pick.

Robinson split five seasons between the AHL and ECHL, playing for both Pittsburgh Penguins' affiliates in Wilkes-Barre and Wheeling before joining HC Asiago in 2005.

Less than 3+1⁄2 minutes into the opening game[1] of the 2007-08 Serie A season vs Ritten-Renon,[2] Robinson collapsed to the ice without being hit,[3] suffering a heart attack.

The ANSA news agency reported Friday the local prosecutor's office has opened an official inquiry into Robinson's death.

Robinson held dual citizenship as an Italian/Canadian[4] at the time of his death and was looking to qualify for the Italian national hockey team.
