Dr. Daryl Smith is passionate about dentistry and hockey. Not too many times do these two passions come together, but for Dr. Daryl they do – because he is the ICE DOGS DENTIST!
You will find him there at every home game cheering them on and hoping the players are wearing their mouth guards properly. Dr. Daryl will be happy to get you free tickets to a game so all you need to do is ask.
When Dr. Daryl is not busy watching the Ice Dogs he is busy serving all of the dentists in Niagara. He has held every position on the board of the Niagara Peninsula Dental Association including president. This means he is involved with more serious things like proper continuing education for the dentists as well as planning fun party times for the dentists and dental team members.
And when he is not busy with the Ice Dogs or the Niagara Peninsula Dental Association, Dr. Daryl teaches at Niagara College for the Dental Hygiene Program.
Dr. Daryl didn’t always want to be a dentist. He graduated from Queen’s University Mechanical Engineering program and worked as an engineer until he decided he wanted to build bridges in people’s mouths, not for cars. He attended University of Western Ontario for dental school and graduated in 2006. He attended Holy Cross Secondary School in St. Catharines for high school.
Dr. Daryl is married to Nadia, a pharmacist, and has two lovely girls, Anika and Sofia.
