Dan Kordic (born April 18, 1971 in Edmonton, Alberta) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey left winger who played his entire NHL career with the Philadelphia Flyers. Much like his brother John Kordic, he was primarily known as an enforcer.
[edit] Playing career
Selected 88th overall in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers, Kordic was originally a defenseman. After four years of playing for the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL, he turned pro and spent his entire rookie season with the Flyers in 1991-92. In 46 games that year he amassed 126 penalty minutes. He spent the majority of the next four years playing for the Hershey Bears of the AHL. Kordic spent the entire 1996-97 and 1997-98 seasons with the Flyers, recording a career high in games played (75 in 1996-97) and penalty minutes (210 two years in a row, leading the team in 1997-98). Kordic teamed with Daniel Lacroix and Scott Daniels to form "the Dan Line", a rough-and-tumble 4th line for the Flyers. Kordic's last professional season came in 1998-99 as he split time between the Flyers, the AHL's Philadelphia Phantoms, and the Grand Rapids Griffins of the IHL.
[edit] Career statistics
In 197 NHL games he recorded 4 goals and 8 assists for 12 points and 584 penalty minutes. For a player with limited offensive capabilities, he was able to maintain a career plus/minus of -4. He also played in 12 career playoff games (all coming in 1996-97), scoring a goal and recording 22 penalty minutes.
