In an early season move, the Screaming Squirrels traded longtime defenseman Doug Winters to Pittsburgh for future considerations.
Winters played with the Squirrels for 13 fall/winter and spring/summer seasons – more than 6 years – exclusively on defense. In 175 games, he had 12 goals and 65 assists for 77 points. He had a goal and two assists in his second to last game with the team, which didn’t include a sure goal the referee washed out due to a premature whistle (the ref admitted it was a mistake).
Winters also skated in 21 Squirrels playoff games and won three championships, while scoring 3 goals and 7 assists.
A short, lanky defenseman who looked barely old enough to drive, Winters used his speed and determination to disrupt opponents’ scoring opportunities, while stepping up offensively when opportunity called.
Fare thee well, Doug Winters. And now, a parting song:
