About Jason Wolfe (ice hockey)

  • Jason Wolfe (born November 26, 1977), is an American professional ice hockey player, and goaltender coach.
  • Wolfe began his career at the NCAA level, playing for Merrimack College.
  • Wolfe spent four seasons in Massachusetts, but was used mainly as a backup goaltender, making just 18 appearances in his time there. After completing his final college season in which he played 10 games and posted a .914 save percentage Wolfe was signed by the Reading Royals for the remainder of the 2001/02 term, where he competed effectively allowing just 7 goals on 87 shots in three ECHL games.
  • He moved to sign for the Adirondack IceHawks at the lower UHL level, where for the first time in his career he managed to claim the first team spot.
  • Wolfe also featured in the post-season for the IceHawks. Wolfe's displays for the IceHawks demonstrated to the Roanoke Express that he deserved a chance to start at ECHL level, and they signed him for the start of the 2003/04 season.
  • It was a chance which Wolfe seized, making 37 regular and 2 post-season appearances.
  • Despite his positive showing, Wolfe was to split the following season between three teams - the Mississippi Sea Wolves, the Bakersfield Condors and the Texas Wildcatters.
  • His solid play earned him a prominent role with the Augusta Lynx for the 2005/06 period. The choice of the Lynx proved to be a good one, and Wolfe again claimed the first team slot, putting in a series of impressive displays and using his imposing size to his, and his team's advantage.
  • His impressive form led to the Manchester Phoenix, a team in Britain's EIHL snapping up Wolfe in the summer of 2006 to play as their starting goaltender. Wolfe again played well in the #1 role, appearing in a career high 53 games, and was one of the Phoenix' most reliable players in a season which saw the team play for most of the term without a home rink.
  • Despite his reliability, Wolfe opted not to re-sign the following year, in part because of the birth of his first child, with player/coach Tony Hand opting to sign ex-NHL goaltender Scott Fankhouser as a result.
  • Wolfe took the opportunity to move back to North America where he played the 2007-2008 season for the Oklahoma City Blazers of the CHL and posted a .910 save percentage while appearing in 35 games. Wolfe would remain in the CHL for the 2008/09 term, signing for the New Mexico Scorpions.
