David Bryan Allison (born April 14, 1959 in Fort Frances, Ontario) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman. He played in three games with the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL) during the 1983–84 season and is perhaps best known for a brief stint as head coach of the NHL's Ottawa Senators during the 1995–1996 season. He is currently the head coach of the USHL's Des Moines Buccaneers.
Allison spent his junior hockey career with the Cornwall Royals of the QMJHL, appearing in 189 games from 1976–79, and registering 89 points (18G-71A). He led the league in penalty minutes with 407 during his final season. Allison went undrafted, but was signed as a free agent by the then Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens in 1979.
Allison spent 5 seasons with the Canadiens' AHL farm team, the Nova Scotia Voyageurs, with his best season coming in 1981–82 when he recorded 8 goals and 25 assists in 78 games, while finishing 2nd in the league with 332 PIM. He eventually appeared in 3 games with Montreal during the 1983–84 season, recording no points and 12 PIM. The Canadiens moved their AHL club for the 1984–85 season to Sherbrooke, Quebec, and Allison would play 4 games with the Sherbrooke Canadiens before being traded to the Edmonton Oilers, who assigned him to the Nova Scotia Oilers, their AHL team.
