He has also played with the Arizona Coyotes, New York Rangers, Carolina Hurricanes, and Philadelphia Flyers as well as SKA Saint Petersburg in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
DeAngelo was born in Sewell, New Jersey, and played minor ice hockey there until the age of 14, when he joined the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders to become the youngest ever player for the United States Hockey League. Although DeAngelo's season with the RoughRiders ended early due to a knee injury, he was taken by the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in the second round of the 2011 OHL Priority Selection Draft. He had a strong offensive output for the Sting, scoring 58 points in his sophomore season. He was traded to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in 2015, with whom he won both the Max Kaminsky Trophy for OHL defensemen, and the CHL Defenceman of the Year award.
The Tampa Bay Lightning selected DeAngelo 19th overall in the 2014 NHL entry draft, and he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with them later that year. After one season with their American Hockey League affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, DeAngelo was traded to the Coyotes, and he made his NHL debut in 2016. He was again traded, this time to the Rangers, in 2017, and steadily improved his performance until the 2019–20 NHL season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He signed with Carolina after the Rangers bought out his contract in 2021, but was traded to Philadelphia in 2022. DeAngelo became the first player in NHL history to be bought out of his contract twice after Philadelphia terminated his contract in 2023; he subsequently returned to Carolina.
==Early life== The youngest of four siblings, DeAngelo was born in Sewell, New Jersey, shortly after his family moved there.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Parent |first1=Rob |title=NHL: Flyers thinking forward, but South Jersey defenseman would be tempting |url=https://www.timesherald.com/sports/nhl-flyers-thinking-forward-but-south-jersey-defenseman-would-be-tempting/article_d2ff3c3f-40b4-5189-b70e-bfea8b036b23.html |access-date=May 6, 2021 |work=The Times Herald |date=June 26, 2014 |location=Norristown, PA |archive-date=May 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210506191113/https://www.timesherald.com/sports/nhl-flyers-thinking-forward-but-south-jersey-defenseman-would-be-tempting/article_d2ff3c3f-40b4-5189-b70e-bfea8b036b23.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Growing up in Washington Township, he began playing minor ice hockey in South Jersey at Hollydell Ice Arena in Sewell, and was known for his competitive nature.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Isaac |first1=Dave |title=Washington Twp. native dreaming of orange and black |url=https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/sports/nhl/flyers/2014/06/21/washington-twp-native-dreaming-orange-black/11229691/ |access-date=May 6, 2021 |work=Courier-Post |date=June 21, 2014 |archive-date=June 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210612160150/https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/sports/nhl/flyers/2014/06/21/washington-twp-native-dreaming-orange-black/11229691/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In addition to playing for the Mercer Chiefs of the Atlantic Youth Hockey League, DeAngelo dabbled in baseball and basketball.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bridge |first1=Terry |title=Anthony DeAngelo reflects on fourth and most likely final season in Sarnia |url=https://www.theobserver.ca/2014/12/05/anthony-deangelo-reflects-on-fourth-and-most-likely-final-season-in-sarnia |access-date=July 29, 2021 |work=Sarnia Observer |date=December 5, 2014}}</ref> DeAngelo was also close to his grandparents, and his paternal grandfather Lou would drive him to and from the local ice rink during his youth hockey career.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Calamia |first1=Matt |title=Grandparents Played Important Role in DeAngelo's Success |url=https://www.nhl.com/rangers/news/grandparents-played-important-role-in-deangelos-success/c-290975378 |access-date=May 6, 2021 |work=NHL.com |agency=New York Rangers |publisher=National Hockey League |date=September 10, 2017 |archive-date=May 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210506191112/https://www.nhl.com/rangers/news/grandparents-played-important-role-in-deangelos-success/c-290975378 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2008, he appeared in the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Philadelphia Flyers' minor hockey affiliate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|title=Pee-Wee players who have reached NHL or WHA|year=2018|website=Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament|page=10|access-date=February 15, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306085544/https://www.publicationsports.com/ressources/files/439/Joueurs_Pro.pdf|archive-date=March 6, 2019}}</ref>
==Playing career==
===Amateur=== DeAngelo left Washington Township at the age of 14 to play junior ice hockey for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders of the United States Hockey League (USHL). He was the youngest player in USHL history, often competing with college athletes.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Goldstein |first1=Eric |title=2014 NHL Draft: Anthony DeAngelo selected by Tampa Bay Lightning with No. 19 pick |url=https://www.nj.com/flyers/2014/06/2014_nhl_draft_anthony_deangelo_selected_by_tampa_bay_lightning_with_no_19_pick.html |access-date=May 6, 2021 |work=NJ.com |date=June 28, 2014 |archive-date=May 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210506191113/https://www.nj.com/flyers/2014/06/2014_nhl_draft_anthony_deangelo_selected_by_tampa_bay_lightning_with_no_19_pick.html |url-status=live }}</ref> DeAngelo played 28 games with the RoughRiders in the 2010–11 USHL season, scoring one goal and 14 assists for a total of 15 points. In January 2011, he suffered a broken patella while blocking a slapshot in a game against the Des Moines Buccaneers, and the injury kept him out for the rest of the season.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Johnson |first1=Jeff |title=Will the RoughRiders keep DeAngelo? |url=https://www.thegazette.com/minor-league-sports/will-the-roughriders-keep-deangelo/ |access-date=May 6, 2021 |work=The Gazette |date=May 28, 2011 |location=Cedar Rapids, IO |archive-date=May 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210506191111/https://www.thegazette.com/minor-league-sports/will-the-roughriders-keep-deangelo/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
After watching his performance in the USHL, the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) selected DeAngelo in the second round, 24th overall, of the 2011 OHL Priority Selection Draft.<ref>{{cite news |title=DeAngelo Commits To Sting |url=https://sarniasting.com/deangelo-commits-to-the-sting |access-date=May 6, 2021 |work=sarniasting.com |publisher=Ontario Hockey League |date=July 7, 2011 |archive-date=May 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210506194324/https://sarniasting.com/deangelo-commits-to-the-sting |url-status=live }}</ref> DeAngelo considered continuing with the USHL, which carried a potential invitation to the USA Hockey National Team Development Program, but chose to sign with Sarnia because it offered him a faster opportunity to progress his career than waiting to play college hockey. He struggled to adjust to the new league, saying that it took "[m]aybe 15, 20 games before I started getting power-play time and was able to do what I do".

Beginning in 2013–14, DeAngelo's on-ice behavior began to overshadow his athletic performance. He was removed from the ice during the second period of the Sting's game against the Guelph Storm on January 31, 2014, and the OHL released a statement on February 14 that DeAngelo would be suspended for eight games following a violation of the league's Harassment and Abuse/Diversity Policy. The OHL statement also revealed that this was DeAngelo's second suspension that season for violating the Abuse/Diversity policy, but that this was the first time his comments were directed towards a teammate. The details of his first suspension were kept confidential.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bisson |first1=Shaun |title=OHL announces disciplinary action for DeAngelo |url=https://www.theobserver.ca/2014/02/14/ohl-announces-disciplinary-action-for-deangelo |access-date=May 6, 2021 |work=Sarnia Observer |date=February 14, 2014 |archive-date=May 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210506194323/https://www.theobserver.ca/2014/02/14/ohl-announces-disciplinary-action-for-deangelo |url-status=live }}</ref> Later in the season, DeAngelo received a two-game suspension for abuse of an official.
