How Mushrooms Helped Save This Athlete's Life with Daniel Carcillo

Daniel Carcillo, known as "Car Bomb" during his professional ice hockey career, is a former NHL player turned mental health advocate and entrepreneur. Born on January 28, 1985, in King City, Ontario, Canada, Carcillo's journey has taken him from the rink to a powerful voice for mental health awareness and player safety.

Carcillo's hockey career spanned 10 seasons, during which he played for several teams including the Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks, and New York Rangers. Known for his gritty playing style and physicality, Carcillo was a formidable force on the ice, accumulating both goals and penalty minutes throughout his career. He played a crucial role in the Chicago Blackhawks' 2013 and 2015 Stanley Cup championship victories, showcasing his versatility as both an enforcer and a skilled player.


Following his retirement from professional hockey, Carcillo embarked on a new mission to bring attention to the mental health challenges faced by athletes, particularly in the hockey community. Drawing from his own experiences with concussions, trauma, and the loss of friends within the sport, Carcillo became a vocal advocate for player safety and mental wellness.

Carcillo co-founded Chapter 5 Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting brain health, supporting those affected by traumatic brain injuries, and creating awareness about the long-term effects of concussions. Through the foundation, he has worked tirelessly to provide resources, education, and support for individuals navigating mental health challenges, including athletes and veterans.

In addition to his advocacy work, Carcillo has been a prominent figure in speaking out against the toxic culture within professional hockey, addressing issues such as hazing, bullying, and the need for improved player safety protocols. His courage in sharing his own struggles has ignited conversations and spurred positive changes within the sport.

Outside of his advocacy efforts, Carcillo has also ventured into entrepreneurship. He co-founded the company Wesana Health, which focuses on developing innovative solutions for mental health and wellness, including psychedelic-assisted therapy.
