==Playing career==
After winning the Memorial Cup in 1991 as a Spokane Chief, Klemm signed as a free agent with the Quebec Nordiques on May 14, 1991. Klemm spent the next four years prominately with Nords affiliate's, the Halifax Citadels and the Cornwall Aces of the AHL before the Nords relocated to become the Colorado Avalanche. Klemm played his first full season in the NHL in the Avalanche's inaugral season in 1995-96, helping the Avs win their first Stanley Cup. Klemm spent the next 5 seasons firmly entrenched in the Avalanche defense corps, helped the Avalanche to their second Stanley Cup victory in the 2000-01 season.
With 10 years served in the Quebec/Colorado franchise and ranking second in all-time games played by Avalanche defensemen, Klemm left as a free agent and signed with the Chicago Blackhawks on July 1, 2001. Klemm was used in a larger role for the Blackhawks and played in a career high 82 games in the 2001-02 season, recording 20 points. In his third season with the rebuilding Blackhawks, Klemm was traded to the Dallas Stars for Stephane Robidas on November 17, 2003.
After the 2004 NHL lockout, Jon helped the Stars return to the playoffs for the 2005-06 season, before losing at the hands of former team, the Avalanche, in the Western Conference Quaterfinals. In the 2006-07 season, Klemm was re-signed by the Stars on a club option on June 28, 2006. Klemm spent the majority of the season as a healthy reserve, however his final assist helped him reach a milestone 100 assists for his career. His assist coincidently came on Mike Modano's milestone 500th goal in a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on March 13, 2007. 
 
On August 20, 2007, Klemm signed for the Los Angeles Kings as a free agent.
