Jimmy Waite

Jimmy Waite (born April 15, 1969 in Sherbrooke, Quebec) is a former National Hockey League goaltender who is now playing in Europe. He was one of the most highly rated goalies in the late 1980s and many scouts believed he had the potential to become a star; unfortunately, the team that took him in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft (8th overall), the Chicago Blackhawks, was already deep in goal with both Ed Belfour and Dominik Hašek in their system. Waite never really caught on as a starting netminder and only played 106 NHL games, for Chicago, the San Jose Sharks and the Phoenix Coyotes. He played six years for ERC Ingolstadt in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.
Waite retired in 2010 after playing a game for the Nuremberg Ice Tigers.
