Biography
Chad Wagner (born November 12, 1974) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey enforcer.
While playing with the San Diego Gulls, Wagner was the most penalized player in the West Coast Hockey League for three consecutive years: during the 1996–97 season he received 503 penalty minutes in 45 games played; in 1997–98 he recorded 439 minutes over 34 games; and over the course of the 1998–99 campaign he was given 521 minutes in 43 games played to set the WCHL record for most penalty minutes in a single season.
On February 25, 2005, while playing with the Danbury Trashers, Wagner received a lifetime suspension from the United Hockey League when, instead of entering the penalty box, he broke free from a linesman to grab Adirondack Frostbite coach Marc Potvin.
