Part of my favourite teams. 1976-1980. Rip

 

[RI.B FAN]

I had forgotten about him

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

He was a good player and I enjoyed watching him. He was kinda quirky and always seemed to want to play bigger than he actually was, and he would occasionally lay an egg, but he was quite serviceable for us. RIP

RIP. I always liked Foster. In my hazy recollection of those late '70s teams, I often confuse him and Bob Miller.

Traded to Colorado for the pick that would used to draft Gord Kluzak.

Good player, RIP

 

[badbrewin]

Part of the lunch pail gang roster that turned me into a B's fan right around '77 as a kid. There's still something magical for me whenever I see footage or pics of guys from that era.

RIP Dwight.

I’ll always remember seeing that curly black hair! RIP

A heck of a mucker with good hands. My father did not think much of him, but he had talent. I liked him better the second time around. RIP.

Dwight Foster was thew captain of the Kitchener Rangers back in the seventies. He still holds the record for the most points by a player 382 points in 262 games. In 1976-77 he lead the OHL in points 143 with 60 goals and 83 assists. They had a ceremony a while back to raise his number to the rafters. Once a Bruin always a Bruin. Great guy. Rest in peace Dwight.

 

[Terrier]

I remember him best from his second stint as a Bruin. RIP

RIP, was watching him on YT in a late 70's game for Boston. Think he was selected a pick or two after Mike Bossy.

Yeah, he was the trade that resulted in #6, instead of Bellows.

His son Alex had a cup of coffee with Toronto. He apparently retired in the Detroit area and two sons played NCAA D1 hockey.
