5 – Tim Jackman (2013-2016)

Starting off our list at number five is Tim Jackman.

Traded to the Anaheim Ducks in 2013, Tim Jackman’s tenure saw him mostly play on the fourth line. Jackman was never known for his scoring prowess but it was always something he tried to focus on. In an interview with the LA Times, Jackman said he embraced the idea of fighting as the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team who drafted Jackman back in 2001, wanted him to. He never fought in college but accepted his role as the tough guy to do what he could to stay in the league and play the game he loved.

In Jackman’s three year stint with the Anaheim Ducks and San Diego Gulls, the now thirty-six-year-old right winger would total eleven points and 152 penalty minutes. One of Jackman’s most notable goals for the Ducks came from a dump in at center ice that would bounce past then Vancouver goalie, Roberto Luongo. It earned him the nickname “sniper” amongst the boys in the locker room.

Jackman scraped with many of the same players. The list includes notable fighters such as Tom Sestito, Matt Martin, Kyle Clifford and the MVP himself, John Scott.
