Dwight Schofield

In hockey there are certain players who are regarded as "specialists," such as the stay-at-home defenceman, the set-up man or the tough guy. Dwight Schofield was the tough guy. His reputation as a fighter with the Washington Capitals earned him the nickname "Schonan the Barbarian."

GP  211  G 8  A 22  TP 30  PIM  631. That about tells the Ballad of Dwight.

Received TTM blue ink signed card. His RC. His first card. His only card. Too bad he played before the hockey card explosion. He probably would have been
a fan favourite with multiple cards.

This continues my streak of having at least one autographed item for each day of the year.
