Dave Fortier

David Edward Fortier (born June 17, 1951) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenseman who was selected 23rd overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1971 NHL Amateur Draft. A physical, hard-nosed defender, he spent most of his early career in the minor Central Hockey League before earning a 23-game callup with Toronto in 1972–73, recording his first NHL goal and four assists. He later played for the New York Islanders and Vancouver Canucks before joining the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association. Fortier retired in 1979 after a final season in the minors.
