Jimmy Waite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jimmy Waite (born April 15, 1969 in Sherbrooke, Quebec) is a former National Hockey League goaltender. He was one of the most highly-rated goalies in the late 1980's and many scouts believed he had the potential to become a star; unfortunately, the team that took him in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft, the Chicago Blackhawks, was already deep in goal with both Ed Belfour and Dominik Hasek in their system. Waite never really caught on as a starting netminder and to date has only played 106 NHL games, for Chicago, the San Jose Sharks and the Phoenix Coyotes. He currently plays for Ingolstadt ERC in the Deutsche Eishockey-Liga.
