Top 10 All Time Hit Leaders
1. Zach Dooley - 1634
2. Aidan Richan - 1590
3. Willie Weber - 1291
4. Reggie Williams - 1241
5. Frankie Gooseneck - 1224
6. Jordan Hall - 1209
7. Laraque Obama - 1184
8. David Winter - 1174
9. Vladislav Smirnov - 1172
10. Jason Due - 1151
Just Missed It
Jon Maxfield - 1011
Rashad Thomas - 1031
These two players have retired now but they barely missed the cut, I think it's safe to say they'd be on the list had they played one more season.
Far Off
Mathias Chouinard - 463
Jeff Dar - 642
Chouinard was far off, perhaps a couple seasons in the top hitters gave the wrong impression of him. Dar was more surprising however. Widely regarded as one of the best power forwards to ever play the game, Dar missing the top 10 by almost 500 hits is unbelievable.
On The Rise
Brandon Donini - 1145
Willie Weber - 1291
The two youngest players on this list each have at least 5 more seasons to go, I'd expect them to be 1 and 2 on the list by the time they retire if they continue to hit at the pace they're hitting. Donini has led the league in hits for 4 seasons in a row and Weber has consistently been one of the best hitters in the league since S9.
On the Decline
Mike Ochocinco - 1097
Frankie Gooseneck - 1224
Both retired players, Ochocinco and Gooseneck will likely lose ground to some younger players, most of the players behind Gooseneck are still yet to retire and may pass him soon, Ocho may find it difficult to retain his number 10 spot with some young hitters like Ammon Tutankhamun and Alexey Kovalenko beginning to make some noise in the hits categories.
But im pretty sure Reggie Williams is still on the Blizz and hasn't retired.

Damn I was hoping to be a little higher, but this is an awesome group of players so it's still a great honor to have made the Top-10 . And guys like Donini, Weber and Hall could indeed end up dominating this list in a few years, this league has some strong Power Forwards at the moment.
I have a career 1,224 hits in the regular season and 98 hits in the playoff without including season 5 since the stats are no longer available.
This leaves me at 1,322 in my career, so i should be third if you are counting playoffs as well. Pretty sure I was one of the top hitters for forwards. Got 182 hits in one season.
