Hall of Fame
With a knack for the net like few others, Doug Spooner [1987-91] thrilled UAA fans for four seasons, tallying a near-record number of goals and helping UAA to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments.
Utilizing his solid frame and soft scoring touch, the Cache Creek, British Columbia, native was a staple of Seawolf teams that compiled four straight winning seasons, including 21- and 22-victory campaigns in 1989-90 and 1990-91. UAA's 1987-88 Rookie of the Year, 1988-89 Leon Thompson Fan Favorite and 1990-91 team captain tallied 23 goals in both his sophomore and junior seasons, still tied for No. 6 on the all-time list.
Spooner's 75 career goals left him just one shy of equaling the program record - a mark he likely would have topped had he not missed 13 games to injury as a senior. His 148 points and 73 assists both also rank in UAA's career top 10 more than 20 years after his playing days, while his 50 points as a sophomore are still tied for 9th on the single-season list.
Playing on the same team - although often on different lines - with fellow Seawolf Hall-of-Famers Rob Conn, Dean Larson and Derek Donald, he was a vital part of the program's first to NCAA Tournament teams in 1990 and 1991.
Spooner graduated in 1991 with a bachelor of arts in justice. He currently lives in League City, Texas.
