Over 30 Hockey League

He may not look like it, but, Jim is one of the Over-30 league’s most all around role players when it comes to playing either defense (his natural position) or moving up to play forward.  Another proud member of the Over-30’s blue collar lunch pail gang, you can classify Jim as a chameleon that blends in to any team style and adapts to any position he is asked to play.

A solid middle of the pack defenseman, Jim has an underrated shot from the point that will produce the occasional goal, and you can always find Jim in the top 8 scorers for defensemen.  Jim’s occasional stick handling rushes for glory from the defensive zone usually produces a mixed bag of results; either he will look like the slick playmaker in setting up a team mate for a prime scoring chance, or he will turn the ball over resulting in a prime scoring chance for the opposing team.  When you see Jim rush the ball, you hold your breath because you don’t know which result is in the cards.

Now playing in his 34^th season, Jim’s versatility of being able to play any position has made him a valuable player in the Over-30 league, especially when it comes to setting up the draft.  In addition, Jim is one of the Over-30 leagues most dependable players who commits to being there every week for his team.    

A solid defenseman, Jim will give you an honest effort every game.
