David Whitworth (Assistant Captain)
At Dartmouth: With soft hands, strong stick handling and an accurate
shot, David is an offensive threat just about any time he is on the ice. He
turned up his offensive output as a sophomore and finished as the team's
top scorer and most valuable player. David was the team leader with 12
goals and 18 assists and his play against Ivy League opponents earned
him first team All-Ivy recognition. He recorded his first multi-goal game
with two scores against Princeton in Thompson Arena and then, at Princeton later in the season, he took the puck the length of the ice on the power
play, untouched, and scored on a highlight-variety backhander. As a freshman, he tallied a point in each of the last 18 games and finished the year
with 20 points. His strong performance earned him the team's Booma
Award as the top rookie performer. His first career goal was the game-
winner in a 3-2 win at Colgate and he recorded five points on a goal and
four assists against RPI later in the season.
High School: In addition to playing his junior hockey with the Penticton
Panthers, David earned a total of 15 letters playing golf, volleyball, basketball and running cross country.
Personal: David enjoys playing just about any sport and especially likes
golf, waterskiing, fishing and weightlifting. He says Wayne Gretzky is his
role model because "he is a classy individual on the ice as well as off the
ice." He lists Robert DeNiro as his favorite actor and he likes to eat chocolate and Italian food. David's favorite aspect of hockey is "lighting the
lamp ¯ top shelf."
