Dave Poulin got off to a really slow start in hockey, which makes sense since he began his athletic career as a figure skater and saw hockey as a way to earn a scholarship to Notre Dame. After college, he played a season in Sweden. The Flyers signed him, and he quickly proved to be valuable, scoring 76, 74, 69, and 70 Points in his first four full seasons with Philadelphia. Exceptional on the penalty kill, Poulin was skilled on his own side of the ice, where he would win the Frank J. Selke Award in 1987. Two All-Star Games bookended that accolade. Poulin would score 394 Points for the Flyers over his 467 Games while playing for them.
