Richard W. DiPietro Jr. (born September 19, 1981) is an American who once played goal for a professional ice hockey team. He currently co-hosts “DiPietro and Rothenberg” on ESPN 98.7 FM with Dave Rothenberg. Since the start of the 2021–22 NHL season, he has been an analyst on ESPN’s NHL telecasts.

DiPietro was selected by the New York Islanders as the first overall pick in the NHL Entry Draft on June 24, 2000, making him only the second goaltender to ever hold that distinction.

He was given a ground-breaking 15-year, $67.5 million deal by the team in 2006, but a series of setbacks starting in 2008 that limited him to 50 NHL appearances over the ensuing five seasons resulted in a contract buyout on July 2, 2013, with eight years still left on the deal.
