Jim Cummins (born May 17, 1970 in Dearborn, Michigan) is a retired American professional ice hockey player.

Playing career[]

He was drafted 67th overall by the New York Rangers in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. He played 12 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Chicago Blackhawks, Phoenix Coyotes, Montreal Canadiens, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, New York Islanders, and Colorado Avalanche.

Cummins spent 3 years with the Michigan State Spartans before going pro. While in college Cummins established himself as a strong enforcer willing to drop the golves with anyone. Cummins brought the same intensity to the NHL, where he quickly established a reputation among fellow heavyweights. Cummins originally retired after the 2001–2002 season, but returned to play for the Colorado Avalanche during the 2003–2004 season. After his one season with the Avalanche he retired for good in 2004.
