Jaks stayed in Ambrì for two more years and was named best goalkeeper of the NLA season in spring 1992 before moving to North America .

In his first season there, the Kings put him in their farm team , the Phoenix Roadrunners , in the International Hockey League , where he shared the goalkeeping post with Rick Knickle and David Goverde . In the following season, his ice ages decreased significantly behind Byron Dafoe and Mike O'Neill . However, Jaks wrote Swiss ice hockey history on January 29, 1995 when he was the first player to be trained in Switzerland to play in the National Hockey League . In the dress of the Los Angeles Kings he replaced Jamie Storr between the posts against the Chicago Blackhawks after the first third break and played 40 minutes in goal. He had to accept two goals.
