Jason Woolley
Edit ProfileCareer
Woolley"s most productive National Hockey League season was his 1998-1999 campaign with the Buffalo Sabres in which he netted 10 goals and 33 assists (43 points). Woolley scored a dramatic game-winning OT goal in Game 1 of that series, labelled as "the shot heard round the hockey world" by Sabres announcer Rick Jeanneret. During Woolley"s tenure with the Red Wings, they would play Sam The Sham & Pharoh"s Woolly Bully when he scored at Joe Louis Arena.
Woolley was also a participant in the 2014 Bridgestone National Hockey League Alumni Winter Showdown at Comerica Park on December 31, 2013, representing the Detroit Red Wings.
International
He played for Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympics. Woolley was part of a group of several National Hockey League players who were scammed out of several million dollars over the span of a decade.
The alleged perpetrators were caught in 2013 and are facing trial. Woolley now operates The Players Group Hockey, a player agency based in Birmingham, Michigan.
Achievements
-
Fittingly, that year was also Woolley"s finest playoff performance (4 goals, 11 assists, 15 points) as his Sabres advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals before falling to the Dallas Stars in six games. Woolley recorded five assists in eight games with the team, scored a shootout goal, and won a silver medal.
