Washington CapitalsNHL Draft Undrafted Playing career 1997–present Darcy Verot (born July 13, 1976 in Radville, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian ice hockey forward currently playing for HC CSKA Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League.
Verot was originally signed as a free agent in 2000 by the Pittsburgh Penguins, but never made the parent team. He was later signed by the Calgary Flames, but once again was unable to make the parent team and spent his time in the minors. Verot finally broke into an NHL roster when he was signed by the Washington Capitals and played 37 games during the 2003–04 NHL season. Verot led all players in penalty minutes for the last half of the season. The lock-out before the next season ended his window of opportunity to continue in the NHL.
In late 2005, Verot signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets and played two seasons with their American Hockey League affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch. He then moved to Russia and signed with Vityaz Chekhov of the Russian Super League (now KHL) and amassed more than 1000 penalty minutes playing for Vityaz.
Verot is married to the former Nicole Pizzolatto of Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA. He has four children: Ashlyn, Addison, Emerson and Sutton.
