darcy verot

darcy verot -lrb- born july 13 , 1976 in radville , saskatchewan -rrb- 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 -lrb- now khl -rrb- and amassed more than 1000 penalty minutes playing for vityaz .
while with chekhov he was involved in multiple incidents , particularly in games against rival avangard omsk .
notably he fought star jaromir jagr -lrb- who was briefly his teammate in washington -rrb- on a couple of occasions .
when verot tried out for czech extraliga club oceláři třinec in 2011 , jagr , who owns another club in the league , expressed outrage .
verot is married to the former nicole pizzolatto of lake charles , louisiana , usa .
he has four children : ashlyn , addison , emerson and sutton .
