Bryan Watson (ice hockey)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bryan Joseph "Bugsy" Watson (born November 14, 1942 in Bancroft, Ontario) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player. He played the position of defenceman.

Watson began his NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens, and has also played with the Detroit Red Wings, Oakland Seals, Pittsburgh Penguins, St. Louis Blues, and Washington Capitals. He finished his playing career with the Cincinnati Stingers of the World Hockey Association. After a very brief coaching career with the Edmonton Oilers, his association with hockey ended. In 878 NHL games, Watson scored 17 goals, had 135 assists, and amassed 2,212 penalty minutes. His aggressive playing earned him the nickname "Bugsy".

Today, Watson runs a sports bar called Bugsys in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C., which is frequented by Washington Capitals fans during the NHL season.
