Peter W. Douris (born February 19, 1966 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey right winger who played in the National Hockey League from 1985 to 1998. He was drafted in the second round, 30th overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft after his freshman season at the University of New Hampshire. He left college hockey after his sophomore year to join the Canadian National Team in 1985-86.
In Douris's first season he only played 11 games and did not acquire any points. In his second season, he showed impressive actions in the American Hockey League for the Sherbrooke Canadiens by notching 14 goals and 28 assists for 42 points in 62 games. But in the Jets he was only dressed in 6 games.
After spending 3 seasons with the Jets he was traded to the St. Louis Blues for defenseman Kent Carlson and a fourth round draft pick. Peter spent the season playing for the Blues International Hockey League affiliate Peoria Rivermen. Douris signed with Boston Bruins for the 1989-90 season as an unrestricted free agent. In his first season in Boston colours, he played 36 games and notched 5 goals and 6 assists along with 15 penalty minutes.
In the 1992 playoffs with the Bruins, Douris scored the game-winner in Game Two at the Forum against Montreal en route to a four-game series sweep. It was the first time Boston had won an overtime playoff game at the Forum since 1943. "That was definitely a huge thrill," Douris says years later. "I remember coming off the ice, [and the scratches were] waiting by the dressing room... The look on their faces were like, 'Holy smokes!... You just got an overtime goal at the Forum. You were just eating hotdogs in the stands with us [in the last game]!"
