Lightning Enforcers

Players that were supposed to fill the enforcer role:
Chris Dingman
Andre Roy
Gordie Dwyer
Reid Simpson
Sandy McCarthy
Louis Debrusk
Mick Vukota
Rudy Poeschek
Brantt Myhres
Enrico Ciccone

Players that weren’t necessarily “enforcers”, but fought:
Matt Barnaby
Darcy Tucker
Joe Reekie
Chris Gratton
Rob Dimaio

Then there were guys like Chris LiPuma or Jim Cummins, who had drive -bys with the team, but you have to remember Vinny Lecavalier has more FMs with the Bolts than some of the names above at this point (12).

wasn’t Basil Mcrae on one of the lightnings earlier teams. how about Nick Vicoda?

Sandy Mccarthy, Brantt Mhyres, and Jim Cummins are the only others that come to mind.

There are some young guys that were part of the lean years for the Lightning that I can’t forget: Gordie Dwyer and Kyle Feadrich (sp?). Dwyer especially was a favorite of mine…

Basil was ont eh tea but I don’t think he ever ranked as an enforcer or played that role with the Bolts. Can’t remember Nick Vicoda at all.

I think that person was referring to Mick Vukota, who played for the team during the 97-98 team, racking up 116 PIM in 42 games.

p.s. Was Jamie Huscroft much of a fighter? I remember him being on the team but was too young to remember exactly how he played.
