Jim Smith (ice Hockey, Born 1964)
James Smith is a Canadian retired ice hockey defenseman who was an All-American for Denver. Career Smith was a solid player for Denver for most of his time with the Pioneers. For his first two seasons, he produced decent numbers but wasn't able to help the team finish any better than 5th in the 6-team WCHA. As a junior, the team got marginally better, recording a winning season for the first time since he joined the squad but still ended up 5th in the standings (now with 8 teams in the conference). All of that changed in his senior season. Denver jumped out to a fast start in 1985 and rode the success to a first-place finish.

He was named an All-American and helped the Pioneers win the WCHA Tournament for the first time since 1973. They also made their first NCAA Tournament for the first time in 13 years and reached the F ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
