Jame Pollock (born June 16, 1979 in Québec , Canada ) is a former Canadian ice hockey defender who spent most of his career in the German Ice Hockey League .

Career

As a junior, Pollock played with the Seattle Thunderbirds in the Canadian Junior League Western Hockey League . He was selected during the 1997 NHL Entry Draft by the St. Louis Blues in the fourth round in a total of 106th position. After a few years with the then farm team of the St. Louis Blues from the American Hockey League , the Worcester IceCats , the defensive player moved to Europe in the summer of 2004.

There he was signed by the people in charge of the Kloten Flyers from the Swiss National League A , for which he subsequently played 26 league games and scored 12 points. At the end of the season Pollock joined the league rivals HC Lugano , for which he played two play-off games. With the HC, the Canadian was eliminated in the quarter-finals in a best-of-seven series with 1: 4 defeats against SC Bern .

For the 2005/06 season , the defender moved to the German Ice Hockey League for the Nuremberg Ice Tigers . Pollock was able to set Chris Snell's defender scoring record in the 2006/07 season , which until then had been 22 goals in the main round. He scored his 22nd goal of the season on March 2, 2007, when the Ice Tigers played against the Eisbären Berlin . With the Ice Tigers, the Canadian reached the play-off final in the same season, which was lost to Adler Mannheim .

In the summer of 2007, Jame returned to North America due to an offer from Washington Capitals - despite a valid contract with the Ice Tigers. He ran in the American Hockey League for the Hershey Bears . He stayed there for only a few months and signed a contract with HK CSKA Moscow at the end of 2007 after only 16 completed season games . In Moscow, the then 29-year-old was one of the defenders with the highest points and scored 15 points in 28 games. For the 2008/09 season Jame Pollock joined the HK MWD Balaschicha , with whom he played in the highest Russian professional league, the Continental Hockey League. For the 2009/10 season , the Canadian returned to the German Ice Hockey League and played there for Adler Mannheim . In June 2011 Pollock went back to Nuremberg to join the Ice Tigers.

Following the 2013/14 season, Pollock ended his active career.
