3¾x7¼. David Babych (b. 1961) is a retired NHL player of Ukrainian
descent, playing for 19 seasons with the Winnipeg Jets (1981-1986), Hartford
Whalers (1985-1991), Vancouver Canucks (1991-1998), Philadelphia Flyers
(1997-1999), and the Los Angeles Kings (1998-1999). Babych was drafted in
1980 by the Winnipeg Jets, with his brother Wayne also being drafted around the
same time. Babych had a successful rookie career, and was voted to play for
an All-Star game as early as 1983. He continued through his career at a
rather steady pace, but suffered from various injuries along the way that
impeded both the amount of games played and the performance in the games. One
such injury would cause him to sue the Philadelphia Flyers after retiring,
saying the team's orthopedic surgeon misdiagnosed a foot injury as something
less severe, and that the injury caused him to end his career prematurely.
While the jury found no evidence of fraud for the surgeon or the Flyers, Babych
was awarded $1.02 million in lost wages and $350,000 for pain and suffering.
