William Henry McDougall (born August 10, 1966) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. He is best known for his record-setting scoring performance during the 1992–1993 AHL playoffs, in which he set the AHL records for goals, assists, and points in a single playoff season.
Career
Amateur
As a youth, McDougall played in the 1979 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Toronto.[1]
McDougall signed with the
Prior to his season of senior hockey, McDougall spent one season in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. McDougall had one of the best seasons ever in the 1986-87 season with the Humboldt Broncos, leading the league with 83 goals, 104 assists, and 187 points in only 61 games. He also led the league with 27 power play goals and 9 short handed goals. After a season of Junior "B" hockey in which he scored 45 goals and 132 points in 42 games for the Streetsville Derbys, the 20-year-old decided to continue his hockey career out west with the Broncos.
The Broncos hosted the Centennial Cup that year and thanks to McDougall they got to the finals before being beaten by the Richmond Sockeyes of the BCJHL. He showed everyone at that tournament though that his regular season performance was no fluke as he had 11 points in four games and was named the tournament's all-star center.
Professional
Undrafted, MacDougall signed his first professional contract as a free agent with the Detroit Red Wings organization in 1989. While playing for the Adirondack Red Wings early in the 1991-92 season, MacDougall was attacked in the dressing room by head coach Barry Melrose after the coach became incensed over the player's refusal to listen to him. Melrose had to be pulled off MacDougall by several other players, and MacDougall's days in the Red Wings organization soon came to an end.[3] The following season, Melrose coached Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings to the Stanley Cup Finals.
McDougall was traded from Detroit to the

McDougall returned to Canada in 2002 and spend six seasons with the Dundas Real McCoys of the MLH in Ontario. McDougall retired from hockey following the 2007-08 MLH season.
Retirement
Since his retirement and a 2010 divorce, McDougall has returned to Cape Breton and operates a hockey camp (Advance Hockey Development) in Toronto to help kids with off-ice training. [4]
