Playing career

[1] He played two seasons of college hockey with the Michigan Wolverines program. After recording 24 points in 38 games as a freshman in 1986–87, [2] the Calgary Flames selected him with their first round pick, 19th overall, at the 1987 NHL Entry Draft. The Flames praised Deasley for his aggressiveness and willingness to battle in the corners. [1] Deasley returned to Michigan where he scored 18 goals in 27 games despite missing 12 games due to a broken leg. [1] [2] He also played in the 1987 Spengler Cup with Team Canada which defeated the Soviet Wings to win the tournament championship. [1]

Deasley left Michigan after two seasons and toured with the Canadian National Team in 1988–89 where he scored 19 goals and 19 assists in 54 games. [2] He joined Calgary's International Hockey League (IHL) affiliate, the Salt Lake Golden Eagles for their playoff run.

[2] [4] He then played three full seasons with Salt Lake between 1989 and 1992 where he had seasons of 27, 45 and 35 points.

He played only 37 games, and recorded 20 points, before retiring as a player. [5]

Post-playing career
