[edit] Playing career

He was signed as a free agent by the Los Angeles Kings in 1999. He was acquired by the New York Islanders in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings in January of 2001. The Islanders sent a conditional pick in 2002 to the Kings for Blake, the Kings eventually turned this pick into 5th round pick Defensemen Joel Andresen. The trade is considered to be one of the best by former Islander General Manager Mike Milbury. Jason set career highs in goals, and points during the 05/06 season with 28, and 57 respectively.

Along with New York Islanders teammates Rick DiPietro and Mark Parrish, Blake was part of Team USA at the Winter Olympics held in Turin, Italy in February of 2006. Team USA was led by Peter Laviolette, his former coach with the Islanders.

On the second day of training camp in September 2006, Blake and camp invitee Joe Grimaldi got in to an on-ice fight.

Blake scored his 99th and 100th career NHL goals against the Chicago BlackHawks at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on October 31, 2006. The milestone 100th goal came on the power play late in the 3rd period.
