Canuck Player Autopsy: Derek Dorsett

Derek Dorsett. Do we have a decent nickname for this guy ? Double D' ? Dors' ? Dorsie ?  His name is not conducive to the usual hockey player need to shorten it of and add an "-ie".  We can do better.

Position: Right Wing

Shoots: Right

Height: 6'0" ( but he plays bigger )

Weight: 192 lbs

Born: Kindersley Sask.  Another good ol' prairie boy.  Just like his coach.  Coach's birthplace is more fun to say though.  Won a Memorial Cup in 2007 with Medicine Hat Tigers, ( we like players, coaches and presidents from "The Chapeau", apparently ), and scored his first NHL goal Oct 21st, 2008 against some guy named Luongo, at Rogers Arena.
