Career
As an 18-year-old James Black played his first season in the Junior Western Hockey League for the Portland Winter Hawks . After he was drawn in the NHL Entry Draft in 1989 in the fifth round and a total of 94th place by the Hartford Whalers , he moved directly into the organization of this NHL franchise. However, his performance was not enough to become a regular in the NHL team. Therefore, until 1996 it was mainly used in the AHL farm teams. The left shooter also played 78 NHL games for Hartford, the Minnesota North Stars , the Dallas Stars , the Buffalo Sabers and the Chicago Blackhawks during this time .
In Chicago he matured in 1996 to become a regular in the best league in the world. Up to and including the 2000/01 season, he played only five games in the NHL, 287 times against it for Chicago and the Washington Capitals . It was not until the 2001/02 season that he was permanently used again in the American Hockey League , which prompted him to move to Europe after only one year.
He hired the first EV train in the National League A in. There he could only play 18 games in the 2002/03 season and so he came to Germany a year later. He signed a contract with the Iserlohn Roosters from the German Ice Hockey League , where he scored 44 scorer points in 50 games. He ended his career in 2004/05 with sixteen games for the HC Bolzano in the Italian Serie A .
