Tim Watters (born July 25, 1959 in Kamloops, British Columbia) is a retired Canadian ice hockey defenceman. Tim "Muddy" Watters was a rarity in the NHL, a physical defenseman who stood under 6 feet tall and under 200 pounds. He played in the 1980 and 1988 Olympics and in 741 NHL games, quietly playing a solid though unspectacular role from 1981 through 1995 with the Winnipeg Jets and Los Angeles Kings, two teams that didn't enjoy much success or fanfare. Not having the size to out-muscle opponents, Watters learned to be in perfect position and angled shooters out of harm's way. He read the oncoming rushes very well, and thanklessly cut off passing lanes and blocked shots. He learned to tie up players' sticks and was one of the few modern players to master the hip check.
