Doug Wilson
Selected in round 1 #6 overall, Chicago Blackhawks in the 1977 NHL Amateur Draft.
Selected in round 1 #5 overall, Indianapolis Racers in the 1977 WHA Amateur Draft.
Wilson made the Hawks' starting lineup in his first training camp as an 18-year-old. As he got to be a veteran in the league, he became more interested in the business of the game. After 1985 he was one of the vice-presidents of the NHL Players' Association, and when President Bryan Trottier joined the Islanders' executive in 1992, Wilson was named the NHLPA's new president at a critical time in league history. After 14 years with Chicago, Wilson was traded to the expansion San Jose Sharks in 1991, a move he looked forward to as a time to teach young players and enjoy the game in a non-hockey market. After two part-time years on defense, he retired and moved into the front office with the Sharks.
