Jason Wiemer (born 14 April, 1976 in Kimberley, British Columbia) is a Canadian former ice hockey centre who last played for the New Jersey Devils of the NHL.
Wiemer was drafted 8th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He has played 726 career NHL games, scoring 90 goals and 112 assists for 202 points. He has also compiled 1,420 penalty minutes.
Wiemer has often been criticized for never meeting offensive expectations.[citation needed] However, many consider him to have played a fairly illustrious career as an enforcer and agitator due to his size, propensity for fighting and ability to deliver hits consistently.[citation needed]
On March 9, 2006, Wiemer was traded from the Calgary Flames to the Devils for a fourth round pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
In early July, 2006, Wiemer underwent reconstructive knee surgery and hasn't played professional hockey since.
Wiemer married his wife, Lindsy Goodine on May 24, 2008. Their son, Owen was born on September 19, 2009.
