Hitman Learns from Iceman
will pack a bigger punch this season
His website greets you with a ‘DH’ emblazoned on a puck that’s enveloped in a swirl of cosmic blue and white.
The ‘DH’ stands for Darcy Hordichuk, but for the new Canucks enforcer it could just as well mean Designated Hitter.
Not only has Hordichuk promised to punch it up with the baddest boys on the NHL block, the fourth-line winger worked with Ultimate Fighting Championship star Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell and trainer John Hackleman this summer to put more spring in his step and power in his punch.
At a place called The Pit in San Luis Obispo, Calif., Hordichuk endured twice-daily workout regimens for two weeks after his wife, Lisa, parlayed her friend’s familiarity with Hackleman into a training invitation.
“It’s all about confidence and just seeing how those guys work — they train, then they’re meditating on the beach and running in the hills — was kind of neat and a good experience,” Hordichuk said Wednesday following an informal skate at Burnaby 8-Rinks.
“Obviously, it’s lot different than training on the ice. It’s violent, but it’s a controlled violence and there are things you can learn from hitting the bag with them, wrestling and other stuff to get your stamina up a bit.
“Like your angles coming into a fight. I’ve had my style for the last 15 years and it has worked for me, but I can do some different things.”
Hackleman believes that Hordichuk’s punching power will be five times as effective because of UFC training that involves the hips and shoulders.
“I hope so,” replied Hordichuk. “Hockey is so different than the UFC and it’s difficult to turn your hips when you’re on the ice. But there are ways to get your hips behind it and make your punches more powerful.”

Hey Darcy Great to see you with the Nucks.
I have been watching you for a few years and I bet the hole team is happy to have a guy to stop us from getting puched around.
I live on the wrong side of Canada but I am driveing 3600 KM to see the nucks play in Montreal on Feb 24th.
I would love to see you and big George go at it.
Stay low the uppercut is there you just go to take it.
I will be right behind the bench with my nucks jersey on.
I just hope the Montreal fan taker easy on me but I will be fliping for the nucks.
GO get them this year the team is young but i think that is a good thing.

Hey Darcy, welcome to Vancouver man. So stoked to have a pugilist of the highest order playing for the Canucks. Louie needs the protection and me and the boys need the excitement…. OH YEAH!. You’re about to join the likes of Tiger, Gino and Donny as one of our teams historic heavy weights(and one of my favourite players). This is a city that understands your value and role. Can’t Wait Brother….

Welcome to the Canucks! How often have you fought the heavyweights in the Northwest division? What sort of ice time do you like?
Posted on September 10th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Darcy,
Opening Night Fight
Hordichuck vs. Bertuzzi
Show the Vancouver fans what the Canucks are not going to be pushed around at all this season. And the first guy to lay a hand/stick/elbow/knee/snow show Luongo had better have to pick his teeth up off the ice. I know you are well aware of the role you have been brought to Vancouver to fill, let’s make it one to remember.
All the Best, and make sure to “put on the foil” OLD TIME HOCKEY IS BACK IN VAN CITY… GO CANUCKS GO!!! Let’s start the season tomorrow!!!
