Randy Cunneyworth (born May 10, 1961 in Etobicoke, Ontario) was a long-standing player of the NHL as a professional hockey player. Randy started out his professional hockey career in the OHL as an Ottawa 67's. In only his second year in the OHL, Randy tallied up 128 points in only 67-games. He was drafted in the 8th round by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft , but played only 1-game in his initial year. Randy was toggled between the Rochester Americans of the AHL (Buffalo Sabres' farm team) on-and-off for several seasons before getting an honest chance as a full-time player with the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins.
Randy gained a reputation for being a tough player who could hit, take a hit, and still win the game. He played several seasons as Captain for the NHL's Ottawa Senators, before returning to AHL's Rochester Americans where he played 2-seasons before retiring as a professional hockey player. He quickly joined hockey again as the assistant coach of the AHL's Rochester American's in 1999–2000 before being given full-time duty in 2000–01. He remains the full-time head coach of the Rochester Americans.
