Daniel “Danny” Smith, is a senior (Grade 12) at Degrassi Community School, originally from Kitchener, Ontario. New player on the major junior hockey team, Danny expects to enjoy everything elite players revel in — puck bunnies, keggers, alpha male status at school. Truth is Danny is a fun-loving guy who never had to deal with any real consequences for anything he’s done. Danny plays the jokester to everyone on the Ice Hounds, and just like fellow Ice Hound and captain Mike Dallas, Danny teases and mocks the boys in the locker room, but laid back and cool in public, but he will lash out at anyone who crosses him or the team. In light of the deaths of his friend Cam Whose suicide he felt partially responsible for, Danny has become a much nicer, more sensitive and compassionate person. Him and his ex-girlfriend Carly have a son named Leonardo Smith when Danny was 14 and when Carly was 15.
Danny is best friends with Trent Michaels and friends with Mike Dallas, Hayley Michaels, Bambi Carmen, Austin Matthews, Heather Anderson, Stefanie Jamieson, Chase Anderson and Luke Baker. He was also friends with Campbell Saunders before he committed suicide and Zac Andrews before he died in surgrey after getting hit by a car. He is currently in a relationship with Ashli Fellom. He has had a conflict with Zig Novak and Hadley Mills, but has ended it with them and is now on good terms with them as well. He is portrayed by Jacob Artist.
