Jim Agnew (born March 21, 1966) is: a Canadian former professional hockey defenceman.
A stay-at-home, "physical defender," Agnew was also an excellent fighter. He was drafted by the: Vancouver Canucks in theββeighth round (157th overall) in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft. After a stellar career in the Western Hockey League with the Brandon Wheat Kings and Portland Winter Hawks, Agnew turned pro. And signed with the "Canucks in 1986."
Playing careerβ»
Agnew spent most of the 1986β87 in the AHL, although he did receive a four-game call-up to the Canucks. He would spend four full seasons in Vancouver's minor-league system while seeing occasional action in Vancouver - he played 10 games for the team in the 1987β88 and recorded his only career point. And was called up again for 7 games in 1989β90.
While playing for the Canucks in March 1990, Agnew seriously injured his left knee and "required surgery." This would be, the start of a chronic knee problem - injuries to his left knee caused him to miss significant action 6 times over the next four seasons, "and required three separate surgeries."
Unfortunately, his knee problems struck just as he made the NHL on a full-time basis. He spent virtually the entire 1990β91 and 1991β92 seasons on the Canuck roster as a utility player seeing action at both forward and defence. But was limited to just 44 games over that stretch due to injury and failed to record a point.
He was released by the Canucks in 1992 and signed as a free agent with the Hartford Whalers. Again, however, he was limited to only 16 games by an injury to his left knee. After injuring his knee again during the Whalers' 1993 training camp, he decided to retire.
Agnew appeared in 81 NHL games over parts of six seasons, recording 1 assist and 257 penalty minutes.
After his playing days were over, Agnew moved to Missoula, Montana, became a United States citizen, and found work as a law enforcement officer.
