He's one of the top defensemen in Philadelphia Flyers history! Jim Watson was a 5-time All Star and two-time Stanley Cup champion. His career was cut short due to a chronic back injury he suffered at the age of 18.
Growing up in the tiny town of Smithers, British Columbia, Jim was one of two Watson brothers to play in the NHL along with brother Joe. Both men are currently inducted in the Flyers Hall of Fame.
In 1997, Jim Watson was one of the founding partners in the IceWorks Skating Complex in Aston, PA and currently runs and operates the Jim Watson Hockey Academy and the Jim Watson Hockey Camp where he stresses discipline, maturity and communication starting kids at the age of 5. He has also coached 16U and 18U Tier I hockey teams.
