Player / 2015

Bio

Jeff Weisman was, since the age of 5 years old, passionate about being a goalie. His two brothers were goalies, and he wanted to be just like them. His parents, Paul and Audrey, were ultra supportive. Hours of driving to Spanish Lake, early morning practices at outdoor rinks, and paying for that expensive equipment.  A big thank you to Paul for assisting Charlie Eberle (HOF 2011) in brining Jr. B. Hockey to St. Louis in 1973-74. And who can forget Audrey's cries of "Get the puck out of there". 


Jeff was always on the varsity team, whether it was at Clayton, Junior "B" Blazers, Hotchkiss School, or Boston University. 


In 1974 at the age of 15 years old, he was an original member of the St. Louis Junior "B" Blazers playing alongside other hockey Hall of Fame greats as David Bates (HOF 2008) and Dan Pupillo (HOF 2010).
