Jason Strudwick

Jason Wayne Strudwick (born July 17, 1975 in Edmonton, Alberta) is a retired Canadian professional Ice Hockey Defenceman.
==Playing career==
Strudwick was drafted in the third round, 63rd overall by the New York Islanders in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He played his first NHL game with the Islanders against the Hartford Whalers on March 30, 1996.
On March 23, 1998, he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks for Gino Odjick. On July 15, 2002, after compiling 367 Penalty Minutes with the Canucks, he signed as a free agent with the Chicago Blackhawks.
After playing for the Hungarian team Ferencvárosi TC of OB I bajnokság during the 2004–05 NHL lockout, he returned to the NHL playing for the New York Rangers, the team with which he signed as a free agent before the lockout on July 20, 2004, for the 2005-06 season.
Strudwick started the 2006–07 season with HC Lugano in Switzerland before signing a contract on March 19, 2007 with the Rangers. Because he signed with the team after the trade deadline, he was not eligible to participate in the playoffs. In July 2007, he signed a one-year contract with the Rangers and played with them through the 2007–08 NHL season.
On July 10, 2008, Strudwick signed a one-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers for the 2008–09 NHL season. Strudwick would re-sign with the Oilers during the summer of 2009. On July 2, 2010, he again re-signed as a free agent with the Edmonton Oilers for another one-year contract. On November 21, 2011, Strudwick signed with the Swedish club Södertälje Sportsklubb of HockeyAllsvenskan. On May 24, 2012, Strudwick announced his retirement from Ice Hockey.
==Personal life==
Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, he was an honors student at Archbishop MacDonald High School. He is now married and has two children. He is a cousin of fellow former NHL players Scott and Rob Niedermayer.
Strudwick is currently the host of Dinner Television on CityTV in Edmonton.
