Dave Christian is best known for being a member of the United States 1980 Olympic Gold Medal-winning team, but he was far more than just a member of the Miracle on Ice Team. Christian was never a top-five finisher in any major individual award, but he was the recipient of the Lady Byng Trophy and Frank J. Selke Award voting, and he would have three 70 Point Seasons, two with the Winnipeg Jets and one with the Washington Capitals. Christian scored 773 Points over his NHL career.
