Defenseman on the move again, this time to Philadelphia
The Calgary Roughnecks have traded defenseman Paul Dawson to the Philadelphia Wings in exchange for a conditional second round selection in the 2011 Entry Draft.

In 2010, Dawson scooped up 75 loose balls and tallied six points, plus 65 penalty minutes. He also engaged in a couple of fights that became must-see videos on television and the internet.
