Cameron Darcy (born March 2, 1994) is a professional ice hockey forward from the United States, currently competing with the Florida Everblades in the ECHL. He was chosen 185th overall in the seventh round of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Amateur
Hailing from Massachusetts, Darcy played high school hockey at Dexter School located in Brookline, Massachusetts between 2007 and 2010. Excelling as a top scorer, he advanced to the USA Hockey National Team Development Program, where he spent two seasons participating in both the USNTDP and the United States Hockey League (USHL).
Darcy initially committed to play collegiate hockey at Northeastern University, appearing in nine games during the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. He later decided to leave Northeastern and rejoined the USHL with the Muskegon Lumberjacks on November 14, 2012, where he tallied 12 goals and totaled 31 points over 43 contests.
Junior
Selected by the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in the 2011 QMJHL Entry Draft, Darcy signed with them on August 6, 2013. During the 2013–14 season, he served as an alternate captain and led Cape Breton by scoring 35 goals and accumulating 82 points across 65 games, which earned him a place on the QMJHL Second All-Star Team.
After being drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the seventh round of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Darcy returned to Cape Breton for the 2014–15 season. Following a start of 14 points in 19 games, he was traded to the Sherbrooke Phoenix on December 11, 2014. He completed his QMJHL tenure with 45 points in 37 regular-season matches and added nine points during six playoff games before a first-round elimination.
Professional
Darcy inked a three-year entry-level contract with Tampa Bay Lightning on April 9, 2015. His professional debut came with their AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, during the 2015–16 season where he appeared in 56 games but managed a modest output of four goals and twelve points.
In the following season (2016–17), Darcy played in 34 contests for Syracuse before being reassigned to Kalamazoo Wings in the ECHL, where he accumulated 25 points in just 20 games. Ahead of his contract’s final year, he was placed on unconditional waivers and subsequently had his contract terminated on September 19, 2017. As a free agent, Darcy signed a professional tryout agreement with the Utica Comets (AHL), affiliated with the Vancouver Canucks, for the 2017–18 season. After establishing himself on the team, he secured a full AHL contract on November 29, 2017, achieving personal bests with 18 assists and a total of 24 points over 46 games. This performance earned him a one-year extension on June 19, 2018.
During the 2018–19 campaign, Darcy cemented his role within the AHL by playing in 68 games and recording a career-high ten goals for Utica. Upon entering free agency, he signed a one-year contract with the San Antonio Rampage (AHL), primary affiliate of the St. Louis Blues, on July 1, 2019. In a season shortened by external circumstances, he contributed eighteen points across forty-five appearances before play was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following the cessation of operations by San Antonio Rampage, Darcy agreed to a one-year deal with the Binghamton Devils (AHL) on January 12, 2021. After taking a year away from professional play, he made his return by signing with the Florida Everblades of the ECHL for the 2022–23 season on August 19, 2022.
International competition
Darcy was a member of the United States team at the 2011 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, where he recorded 2 assists across five contests, aiding in the team's attainment of a silver medal. The following year, he took part in the 2012 IIHF World U18 Championships, appearing in six matches and contributing to a gold medal victory.
