Dion Phaneuf, a 20 year old defenseman for the Calgary Flames made a huge impact in his rookie season with and has been voted the hardest hitter in the NHL by a random mix of NHL players...

So whatever you do don't get too close!

Dion Phaneuf, son of Paul and Amber Phaneuf, was born on April 10 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and has one younger brother.

He was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the 2003 NHL Entry Drafts.

Named to the CHL First All Star team for the 2003/4 and 2004/5 seasons he also won the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy for Top Defenseman, he was also named as the number two prospect by the Hockey News publication.

Phaneuf represented Canada in the 2004 world championships where they won a silver medal after losing to Finland.

This all action 6 inch figure features Darcy during his 2006 season. Approx 6 inches in height he is wearing his teams regular colors and comes packaged in the classic clamshell box.

Beautifully sculpted and painted this figure is a truly lifelike representation of him.
