Mathieu Dandenault (born February 3, 1976 in Sherbrooke, Québec) plays defense for the Montréal Canadiens of the National Hockey League. He has played for the Detroit Red Wings and the Canadiens in a career that started with the 1995-96 NHL season. After nine seasons with the Red Wings, who drafted him forty-ninth overall in the second round of the 1994 amateur draft, he played for Asiago HC in Italy in 2004-05 (due to the lockout) and upon his return to North America, he signed with the Canadiens, his hometown team.
Both teams Dandenault has played for are Original Six teams, meaning that they were one of the only six hockey teams in the NHL from 1942 to 1967. He has won three Stanley Cups, all with the Detroit Red Wings, in 1997, 1998 and 2002.
Mathieu is married to Marie-Christine and has one daughter, Amélia.
Dandenault's solid work ethic and status as a born and raised Quebecois has given him a special place in the hearts of the Canadiens' fan base in recent years, so much so that in St. Henri, the nickname "Dandy" has become a popular term of endearment among friends for young working-professional males.
