Richard W.
DiPietro Jr.
(born September 19, 1981) is an American former professional ice hockey goaltender and current co-host of ESPN 98.7 FM's "Humpty & Canty show" with Chris Canty and Dave Rothenberg.
DiPietro became just the second goaltender selected first overall in an NHL Entry Draft when he was chosen by the New York Islanders in 2000.
In 2006, the team signed him to a groundbreaking 15-year, $67.5 million contract, but a string of injuries beginning in 2008, which limited him to 50 NHL appearances over the next five seasons, led to a contract buyout on July 2, 2013.
DiPietro would retire after being released by the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League (AHL) on November 26, 2013, with whom he had signed a tryout contract on October 25.
