Jeremy Williams (born January 26, 1984) is a professional ice hockey centre who currently plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL) and their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies. The Leafs drafted Williams 220th overall in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
Williams scored a goal in each of his first three games in the NHL, with each game coming in a different season — he is likely the only player to achieve the odd feat.[1] His NHL debut came on April 18, 2006 versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, which was the Leafs' last game of the season. He scored his first NHL goal on his only NHL shot in a 5-3 victory.[2] The Leafs failed to qualify for the playoffs, and he was sent down to the Marlies.
He was recalled to the Leafs on February 23, 2007 and played against the the Montreal Canadiens. During this game, Mats Sundin shot the puck at Montreal goaltender David Aebischer and the rebound came straight to Williams, who scored his second NHL goal in a 5-4 loss.[2] Williams was called up on February 27, 2008 and scored that night against the Florida Panthers.[1] Since then, he has scored once more.
