for our next selection, from Weyburn, Saskatchewan, one of (if not) the best enforcers the game has known
Left wing 4: David "Tiger" Williams

While most dominant images of Tiger Williams likely include him sitting in the penalty box, he had an offensive scoring talent which often went overlooked due to his penchant for pugilism. Tiger Williams was chosen 31st overall in the 2nd round of the 1974 NHL entry draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Tiger Williams also brought the fans out of their seats, when, after scoring a goal, he would ride his hockey stick down the length of the ice, much to the annoyance of the opposing players. Tiger Williams averaged nearly 20 goals a year, and had his best year in 1980-81 with the Vancouver Canucks, when he netted 35 goals and 27 assists. That year Tiger Williams represented Vancouver in the All-Star game.
