109.  Dave “Tiger” Williams

Before Tiger Woods jumped upon the golf world, the most famous sports feline was that of Dave “Tiger” Williams. The rugged enforcer set the career mark for most penalty minutes of all time, and chances are if you saw a game with Tiger in it, he would be watching the game too from the confines of the penalty box. Williams was not juts a thug, he was actually a capable scorer who netted 35 goals one year and finished with 513 points in his career. Not bad for someone who was barely on the ice.
