Career
[edit]DiCasmirro left home as a teenager to play midget AAA hockey in Marquette, Michigan, and later played for St. Cloud State University.[2] He was signed as a free agent in 2002 by the Edmonton Oilers and was sent to play in the minor leagues. In 2006, he signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Boston Bruins and was assigned to play right wing for the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League (AHL).[3] On December 6, 2007, he was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes along with a 5th round draft pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft for goaltender Alex Auld.[4]
He played several seasons in the AHL and then with Bolzano HC in the Italian Serie A, before being released on December 25, 2008.[5] DiCasmirro then signed a short-term contract to play with Swedish team Timrå IK on January 6, 2009.[6] Having played ten games for the Elitserien team, he continued his visit to Sweden by signing for HockeyAllsvenskan newcomers Örebro HK on September 11, 2009.[7] He moved later in the season to the Austrian Hockey League for EC VSV and in 2010 he signed for Brunico in Serie A.
On August 23, 2015, DiCasmirro returned to the Austrian EBEL, signing for a second stint with Italian club, HC Bolzano, as a free agent on a one-year contract.[8]
Following his seventeenth professional season at the conclusion of the 2018–19 campaign playing with EC KAC second tier Alps Hockey League team, DiCasmirro opted to conclude his career with the intention to remain within EC KAC as a junior coach on March 25, 2019.[9] In 2021, he was hired by the Minnesota Wild to be an assistant coach with their AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild.[10]
