Daniel Joseph Poliziani (January 8, 1935 – November 30, 2019) was a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger.
Poliziani was born to Italian immigrants in New Waterford, Nova Scotia, in 1935. He began playing hockey in the early-1940s when his family moved to Hamilton, Ontario, following his father's death.[1]
Poliziani played four National Hockey League games (one regular season and three playoff contests) for the Boston Bruins during the 1958–59 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1955 to 1965, was mainly spent in the minor American Hockey League.
Poliziani died in November 2019 at the age of 84.[2]
