Dave Forbes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Stephen Forbes (born November 16, 1948 in Montreal, Quebec) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player.
Signed as a free agent in 1973 by the Boston Bruins, Forbes made an impact as a defensive-minded forward as he helped guide the Bruins to the finals in 1974 during his rookie season, and to the finals in 1977. Forbes played four seasons with Boston until he was claimed by the Washington Capitals in the Waiver Draft prior to the 1977-78 season. After playing one season with the Capitals, he was released after only playing two games during the 1978-79 season and signed to play for the Cincinnati Stingers of the World Hockey Association.
[edit] Criminal charges
Forbes was charged with aggravated assault in 1975 after butt-ending Henry Boucha's eye socket in a game against the Minnesota North Stars. He was acquitted after a jury could not reach a verdict.
