Andy Canzanello (born December 1, 1981) is an American former professional ice hockey defenseman.
Undrafted after a four-year collegiate career with Colorado College in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, Canzanello signed an entry-level contract with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 2004. After three seasons within the Ducks organization, Canzanello opted to pursue a European career, in agreeing to a contract with German club, Straubing Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.[1]
As a stalwart on defense for the Tigers, Canzanello remained with the team for 8 consecutive seasons. After the 2014–15 season, a second successive season without the playoffs, Canzanello left the Tigers as a free agent and signed for the 2015–16 season in Austria with Villacher EC of the EBEL on March 4, 2015.[2] Canzanello left VSV before the beginning of the season to transfer to the Italian Serie A with HC Valpellice.
