Where are they now? - Jamie Pushor

Seriously, nobody better for Alternate Captain?

Today's "Where are they now?" features  X-Generation defenseman Jamie Pushor.  Pushor was acquired on March 15, 2002, in a trade that sent a 4th round pick to the Columbus Blue Jackets. 

Pushor finished out the 2001-2002 season with the Penguins, finishing with 2 assists and 30 penalty minutes in 15 games, as well as being a -3.  Pushor played the entire 2002-2003 season with the team (76 games), finishing with 3 goals, 1 assist, and being -28 on the year.

This is probably what you did when Jamie Pushor was on the ice.

Considering this is the only youtube video that seems to exist of him as a Penguin, he really didn't do much.

Pushor was drafted in 1991 (2nd round, 32nd overall) by the Detroit Red Wings.  He made his NHL debut in 1995 and played with the Wings until 1998, when he was traded to Anaheim at the trade deadline.  He played another year in Anaheim and was claimed by the Atlanta Thrashers in the expansion draft in 1999, but was traded to Dallas days later.  After one year in Dallas, he was claimed by the Blue Jackets in the 2000 expansion draft.

After leaving the Penguins as a free agent, he spent time with Columbus, the New York Rangers, Hartford Wolfpack (NYR AHL team), and the Syracuse Crunch (CBJ AHL team).  Pushor retired during the 2006-2007 season, after leaving the Crunch midyear.
