Playing career[]

Jankowski started out with the Junior "B" Hamilton Aerovox in 1947-48.

A versatile forward who could play both right wing and center, Jankowski was an impressive goal scorer in juniors. While playing for the Oshawa Generals he lead the OHA with 65 goals in 1950–51, winning the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy in his final junior year for having the highest point total in a single season with 124.

Jankowski spent several games with the Detroit Red Wings centering a line with Gordie Howe and two seasons with the Chicago Black Hawks, but could never duplicate the success he had in juniors. He went on to play more than three seasons in the AHL and another ten years in the WHL where he was among the league's top goal scorers. He still holds the record for the most goals in a single WHL season with 57.
