# Doug Dadswell

Doug Dadswell (born February 7, 1964) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He played 27 games in the National Hockey League for the Calgary Flames during the 1986–87 and 1987–88 seasons. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1986 to 1993, was spent in the minor leagues.

## Playing career

Dadswell was born in Scarborough, Ontario. As a youth, he played in the 1977 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Toronto.
Dadswell played two seasons of NCAA hockey for the Cornell University, leading the Big Red to the Eastern College Athletic Conference title in 1985–86. His performance led to his being signed by the Flames in 1986. Dadswell turned pro the following season, spending the bulk of the year in the American Hockey League with the Moncton Golden Flames. He earned a call-up to the NHL late in the 1986–87 season where he played two games with the Flames. In 1987–88, he won the backup position behind Mike Vernon and appeared in 25 more games with the Flames. However, when the Flames acquired Rick Wamsley late in the season, Dadswell found himself out of the NHL. He bounced around the minor leagues until 1993, but never returned to the NHL and retired from professional hockey in 1993.
Dadswell also played ten games for the Calgary Rad'z of the Roller Hockey International in 1992–93.
In 2000, Dadswell was inducted into the Cornell Athletic Hall of Fame.
