Dan Carcillo has played 9 years in the NHL, playing for the Chicago Blackhawks and La Kings during his career. He played the role of an enforcer on the ice and has had over 100 fights in the game and won 2 Stanley Cups. 

Dan, along with other rookies, was physically, sexually and emotionally abused at 17 years old by veterans as a young athlete coming through the ranks, because of ‘hockey culture’ and the unwritten understanding of ‘what goes on in the room stays in the room’. Dan has also had 7 diagnosed concussions… 

He had a friend called Steve Montador who passed away from CTE (a disease which is triggered by repeated brain trauma). From seeing this happen and struggling with his own concussion, Dan now has a new purpose in shedding light on treatments he has experimented with and how concussions should be handled better in sport. Psilocybin and which is the active ingredient in magic mushrooms are now in breakthrough stages of research to help treat severe depression and anxiety. Dan is at the front of a new way of thinking - that psilocybin and medicinal mushrooms can help heal concussion and improve brain health.
