'''Éric Dazé''' (born July 2, 1975) is a retiredCanadian [[Canada|Canadian]]former professional [[ice hockey]] [[Winger (ice hockey)|winger]] who played for the [[Chicago Blackhawks]] of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) for eleven seasons from 1995 to 2005.
 
== Playing career ==
Eric Daze began his career playing midget with Laval in Quebec AAA Midget Hockey League. In the [[1992–93 QMJHL season|1992–93]], he joined the [[Hull Olympiques]] of the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]] (QMJHL) before being traded to the [[Beauport Harfangs]] late in the season. Despite starring for Beauport, and a strong junior career (finishing with 261 points in 191 games), Daze's value amongst [[National Hockey League|NHL]] scouts dropped sharply due to his unwillingness to play a rough game, despite possessing the abilities for it.
 
Daze was drafted in the fourth round, 90th overall, in the [[1993 NHL Entry Draft]] by the [[Chicago Blackhawks]] (with the draft pick the Blackhawks received with [[Stéphane Beauregard|Stephane Beauregard]] for [[Dominik Hašek|Dominik Hasek]]). He had early success and was named to the [[NHL All-Rookie Team]] in [[1995–96 NHL season|1996]] after scoring 30 goals as a rookie. He scored at least 20 goals in each season between [[1996–97 NHL season|1996]] and [[2002–03 NHL season|2003]], even when struggling with injuries, and was named to the [[NHL All-Star Game]] in [[200252nd NHLNational Hockey League All-Star Game|2002]]. Daze who was appearing in his first All-Star Game, was named game MVP (two goals/one assist), becoming the first Blackhawk player to win the award since [[Bobby Hull]] in 1971. He often polarized Chicago fans because he showed a reluctance to involve himself in the physical (hitting) aspect of the game despite his prototypical power forward build. Instead he displayed a combination of size and good scoring ability, especially during key, or clutch, moments of the game. He possessed a quick wrist shot and an excellence with one-timers.
 
Unfortunately, Daze ran into severe back problems during his career, which limited him to only 19 games in the [[2003–04 NHL season]]. Even after three [[spinal disc herniation|herniated disc]] surgeries in a five-year span, pain was still a problem in Daze's back when he attempted to return to the Blackhawks in [[2005–06 NHL season|2005]]. He quietly left professional hockey after playingappearing ain single period inonly the season opener for the Blackhawks that seasonyear. On March 20, 2010, Daze officially announced his retirement on the Comcast Sportsnet pregame show before the HawksBlackhawks game.
 
==Personal Awards life==
Daze is married to Guylaine, whom he met during his high school years. The couple have two children and the family resides in [[Hinsdale, Illinois]].<ref>[https://chicagolymag.com/web/2017/03/the-recovery-of-eric-daze/ The Recovery of Éric Dazé]</ref>
