After a long career in the North American minor leagues and a spell in Europe "Strutter" found himself a Panther. Not the fastest of skaters Dave had a good pair of hands and centered the 3rd line. A solid defensive forward who scored some decisive goals. On his return in 2000/01 he centred the first line, along with Ashley Tait & PC Drouin. Although Panthers collectively had an abysmal year that first line did the bulk of the scoring. Dave reappeared the following year in a London Knights shirt. He returned for 2003/04 as Panthers contended in the new Elite League, once more centreing the 3rd line, this time between the young Brits.
